Siemens In-line Ultrasonic utility flowmeter

Application

The main application for flowmeters with the transmitter SITRANS FUS080 is measurement of water flow in district heating plants, local networks, boiler stations, substations, chiller plants, irrigations plants and other general water applications.

In order to make a complete flowmeter, the SITRANS FUS080 flow transmitter must be combined with one of the following sensors:

SITRANS FUS SONOKIT: retrofit flowmeter series

SITRANS FUS380: flow meter for measuring on all district water qualities and water conductivities

SITRANS FUE380: as SITRANS FUS380, but with type approval for custody transfer systems

Design

The transmitter type SITRANS FUS080 is designed with fiber-glass reinforced polyamide enclosure for remote or compact installation in normal areas. The remote versions are available with up to 30 meter distance from flowmeter to transmitter. When ordering as a compact version in the series FUS380 and FUE380 the transducer cables are pre-mounted at the sensor.

The transmitter is available in an IP67/NEMA 4X/6 enclosure and is designed for use in the flowmeters series:

FUS380 (2-path)

FUE380 (2-path)

The transmitter FUS080 is always ordered as part of a complete flowmeter system.

It can be manually ordered separately as spare part preprogrammed with the given sensor data.
