Thermal mass flowmeter
SensyMaster FMT400

The SensyMaster FMT430 offers a high quality and cost effective solution for precise and dynamic direct mass flow measurements of gases in low and medium pressure conditions to meet the needs of all industrial standard applications.
The FMT450 adds high accuracy and extended functionality for advanced industrial applications.
SensyMaster’s concept comprises high grade thermal sensor elements with superior long-term stability, the common ABB look and feel with ABB specific menu structures and through-the-glass-operation and the ABB platform based electronics with comprehensive signal evaluation capabilities for a high degree of performance and reliability. The software offers the ApplicationSelector that allows to change application parameters and create new applications on site and VeriMass the fingerprint based thermal sensor element verification function.
Both integral and remote mount design is available with or without local display and HART communication supporting the modular I/O and the SmartSensor concept. Both models offer easy to understand diagnostic messages for improved operator efficiency.
The SensyMaster FMT430 is ideally suited for all industrial standard applications, the FMT450 for advanced industrial application.
