ABB SwirlMaster Flow Meters – Advanced Swirl Flow Measurement for Compact Installations

The FS4000 series offers a range of swirl flow meters designed for precise volumetric flow measurement in industrial environments where space, vibration, and installation constraints are critical considerations. These meters utilize swirl flow technology, which enables stable and accurate readings with minimal upstream and downstream piping requirements.

With support for Ethernet-APL (Advanced Physical Layer), the FS4000 series enables high-speed, two-wire digital communication directly to field devices, enhancing integration with modern process automation systems. Ethernet-APL ensures real-time diagnostics, simplified commissioning, and future-proof connectivity in hazardous and non-hazardous areas alike.

Key features across the series include:

• Two-wire transmitter design with integrated digital signal processing (DSP) for enhanced signal clarity and vibration compensation, ensuring consistent performance in high-vibration settings.
• Compact form factor with reduced straight pipe run requirements; up to 75% less than traditional flow meters, making the series ideal for retrofit projects and confined installations.
• Non-intrusive, glass-through interface for configuration and diagnostics, allowing for intuitive operation without the need to open the housing or use external tools.
• Flexible installation options, supporting both horizontal and vertical pipe orientations and a wide range of process conditions.
• Broad application suitability, including steam, gas, and liquid flow measurement in sectors such as chemical processing, energy, water treatment, and HVAC.

Each model within the FS4000 series is optimized for specific flow ranges and media types, offering tailored solutions while maintaining the core benefits of swirl flow technology and compact design.
