ABB ProcessMaster Electromagnetic Flowmeters for Industrial Applications

The ABB ProcessMaster series is a robust and versatile family of electromagnetic flowmeters (magmeters) engineered to deliver precise, reliable flow measurement across a wide range of industrial sectors including chemical, power, oil & gas, pulp & paper, metals & mining, and water & wastewater. As your exclusive channel partner for all of Eastern Canada, Everest Automation provides the expert technical support you need to optimize these solutions for your specific operational requirements.

Key Features Across the ProcessMaster Range:

• Modular Design: Available in both integral and remote mount configurations, offering a wide range of sizes (DN 3 to 2000) to suit virtually any installation.
• Liner Materials: A comprehensive selection for diverse chemical and thermal demands, including Hard Rubber, Soft Rubber, PTFE, PFA, ETFE, and Linatex.
• Electrode Designs: Advanced materials like Hastelloy C, Titanium, Tantalum, and Platinum-Iridium, with specialized designs to prevent scaling and ensure high accuracy in aggressive media.
• High Accuracy: Standard measurement error of 0.4% of rate, with high-precision options of 0.3% or 0.2% for critical control loops.
• Advanced Diagnostics: Real-time, NAMUR-compliant status messages detect empty pipes, gas bubbles, electrode impedance, and sensor temperature, supporting proactive maintenance.
• In-Situ Verification: ABB Ability™ tools enable verification of sensor and transmitter integrity without removing the device from the line.
• Connectivity & Smart Configuration: Features include through-glass setup, automatic self-configuration, and an embedded web server. Modern communication protocols include HART, PROFIBUS DP/PA, Modbus RTU/TCP, Profinet, Ethernet/IP, and Ethernet APL, with support for Power over Ethernet (PoE) in next-generation models.
• Rugged Construction: IP67/IP68-rated, vacuum-resistant, and available with fully welded 316 stainless steel sensors for extreme environmental conditions.
