ABB Exhibits New Electromagnetic Flowmeter at WEFTEC 2009
WaterMaster features innovative octagonal sensor design that improves flow profile and reduces up and down-stream piping requirements.
Orlando, FL, October 12, 2009 - ABB Instrumentation exhibited its new range of electromagnetic flowmeters specifically targeted at the water and wastewater markets at WEFTEC 2009. Part of the new FlowMaster range of flowmeters, WaterMaster is packed with advanced features and functionality that will bring superior measurement capabilities and enable users to operate more efficiently, reduce costs and increase profitably. WaterMaster is available in the most commonly installed flowmeter sizes of 1.5" to 12".
The new unit incorporates an innovative octagonal sensor design. This improves flow profile and reduces up and down stream piping requirements. By using a higher excitation frequency combined with advanced filtering, WaterMaster also improves measurement accuracy by reducing fluid and electrode noise. All WaterMaster sensors are inherently submersible (IP68, NEMA 6P) as standard, ensuring suitability for installation in any environment liable to flooding.
A unique feature of the WaterMaster sensor is that all sizes are buriable; installation merely involves excavating to the underground pipe, fitting the sensor, cabling to the transmitter and then backfilling the hole. In the field, WaterMaster incorporates many operator-focused features. The backlit, graphical display can be easily rotated through 270 degrees without the need for any tools, allowing field teams to customize the display that best fits their needs. "Through-the-glass" control allows local operator interface to input short, quick data for all user specific parameters.
The universal ABB Human Machine Interface (HMI) simplifies operation, maintenance and training; thereby reducing cost of ownership and providing one common user experience. All product versions utilize a common electronics cartridge to simplify installation and lower spare part costs and inventory. The standard HART protocol enables online modification and monitoring of parameters. Advanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP) gives improved performance and enables real time measurements for maximum reliability.
'Fit and Flow' data storage inside WaterMaster eliminates the need to match sensor and transmitter in the field. On initial installation, the self-configuration sequence automatically replicates into the transmitter all calibration factors, meter size and serial numbers as well as customer site-specific settings. This eliminates the opportunity for errors and leads to increased speed of start-up.
The meter is also verified to OIML R49 type 'P' requirements to ensure the highest accuracy and long term performance of the system by continuous self checking the sensor and transmitter in the field. All ABB flowmeters are designed and manufactured in accordance with international quality procedures (ISO 9001) and are calibrated on NIST-traceable calibration rigs to provide the end-user with complete assurance of both quality and performance.
ABB (www.abb.com) is a leader in power and automation technologies that enable utility and industry customers to improve their performance while lowering environmental impact. The ABB Group of companies operates in around 100 countries and employs about 120,000 people.
