Global automation leader Emerson has introduced the Flexim FLUXUS® / PIOX® 731 series, a new range of non-intrusive, clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters. This innovative series is designed to offer increased flexibility, convenience, and availability, providing accurate and reliable measurements for both liquids and gases without limitations on process media pressure.
The Flexim 731 series consists of nine models that incorporate advanced volumetric and mass flow sensing technologies. These models are built with a robust design, ensuring precision in demanding industrial applications. They are particularly beneficial for process manufacturers who face challenges in measuring flow rates in areas where direct penetration into the process media would typically cause production interruptions, high costs, and downtime.
To meet these challenges, the 731 series offers non-intrusive flow measurements, ensuring cost-effective operation with low ownership costs. The modular hardware reduces assembly time by 20%, allowing for faster delivery. Additionally, integration with modern software and hardware is seamless, further enhancing operational efficiency.
Key features of the Flexim 731 series include disturbance correction, which enhances accuracy under challenging conditions like disturbed flows, and the Advanced Meter Verification feature to validate meter performance. Other notable capabilities include Wet Gas Correction for accurate gas stream measurements and the Dynamic Gas Meter feature for precise mass and volume correction.
The series includes various models to meet different application requirements:
FLUXUS F/G731 GP (General Purpose): Offers flexibility across various applications and includes disturbance correction and the Dynamic Gas Meter.
FLUXUS H731 HPI: Ideal for pipelines and terminals, this model provides leak detection, integrity monitoring, mass flow, and density measurements.
PIOX S731: Tailored for chemical industries, it measures mass flow, concentration, and density.
FLUXUS F731 WD Water Flow Meter: Designed for the water and wastewater industries, it includes non-intrusive temperature measurement.
FLUXUS F731 TE: Suited for energy management and building automation, with dual-channel thermal energy measurement.
FLUXUS G731 CA: Ideal for monitoring compressed air and technical gases in life sciences and manufacturing industries.
FLUXUS G731 ST-LT/HT: Designed for measuring low and high-temperature steam in sectors like food and beverage and power generation.
Each model in the series features an easy-to-read 84mm wide x 45mm high backlit display with a 240 x 128 pixel resolution, synchronized channel averaging for precise gas measurements, and a wide power supply range from 0-240 volts AC +/-10% at 50-60 Hz or 11-32 volts DC. A USB-C port allows for easy programming and data extraction.
The Flexim 731 series meets global standards, including ATEx (Atmosphères Explosibles), IECEx (International Electrotechnical Commission System for Certification to Standards Relating to Equipment for Use in Explosive Atmospheres), and EAC (Eurasian Conformity). FM (Factory Mutual) certification is expected by April 2025, ensuring that the series is compliant and suitable for global use.
