New product release - Mass flow meter

Doweston FTM-1600Q series Coriolis mass flow meter
A new balance of performance, reliability and cost-effectiveness

Doweston - Process instrumentation and intelligent measurement solutions

Recently, Doweston officially launched the FTM-1600Q series Coriolis mass flow meter. Designed for standard process applications in gases and liquids, it fills a gap in the market between entry-level and high-end Coriolis instruments by delivering an excellent balance of measurement performance, long-term reliability and total cost of ownership.

As the process industry continues to pursue cost reduction and efficiency improvement, users' demand for cost-effective measuring instruments is growing. Many standard process scenarios do not require all the redundant functions of high-end instruments, but have clear requirements for measurement accuracy, stability and service life. FTM-1600Q was developed in response to this market trend. It is oriented to a wide range of industries such as chemical industry, oil and gas, shipbuilding, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, etc., and meets various routine flow measurement tasks.

Typical application scenarios include flow control of chemicals and hydrocarbon media, utility measurement, fuel consumption monitoring, etc. Thanks to the compact double-half-bend structure design, the FTM-1600Q is especially suitable for space-constrained applications such as mobile and skid-mounted systems, trucks, railway tankers, and portable process installations, providing users with a flexible deployment measurement solution.

Direct measurement of multiple parameters, high performance in wide working conditions

FTM-1600Q is based on the Coriolis principle and can directly measureMass flow, density and temperatureWith three core parameters and simultaneous output of derivative information such as volume flow, concentration and flow rate, one instrument can meet the needs of multi-dimensional process monitoring, reducing the number of on-site instrument installations and wiring costs.

mass flow accuracy

±0.1%

High-precision mode is optional for rated flow rates above 10%

process temperature

Up to +180°C

Covers most standard process media

Working Pressure

Up to 100 barg

Typical burst pressure of sensor housing 200 barg

Measuring tube structure

Double half elbow

Compact design, resistant to external vibration interference

The double-half elbow flow meter provides stable and high-performance measurement performance over a wide operating range, easily handling process temperatures up to +180°C and operating pressures up to 100 barg. At the same time, the sensor housing can withstand typical burst pressures of up to 200 barg, providing an additional protective barrier and further improving plant operational safety. For the measurement interval above 10% of the rated flow rate, users can choose a mass flow accuracy of ±0.1% to meet the needs of precise measurement and trade transfer scenarios.

Gas management and intelligent diagnosis, stable and reliable under complex working conditions

FTM-1600Q is equipped with Doweston self-developed GasShield™ Gas Management System, capable of achieving stable measurement under a wide range of gas content ratios and complex flow regimes. This technology can provide real-time two-phase flow indication and support the detection of gas volume content in liquid, helping users to grasp the status changes of process media in a timely manner and avoid measurement inaccuracies caused by gas-liquid two-phase flow.

In addition, the integrated SensGuard™ online diagnosticsContinuously monitors instrument status and application conditions to help operators gain insight into instrument and process details, supporting condition-based maintenance (CBM) and process optimization. The flow meter can also be calibrated on site without interrupting the process, effectively reducing maintenance and increasing plant availability.

Modular electronic platform, seamless integration of all protocols

FTM-1600Q adopts modular electronic component design, supports multiple industrial communication protocols, and can be seamlessly integrated into various DCS, PLC and SCADA systems:

• HART® 7 -Mainstream analog quantities superimposed on digital communication, compatible with existing 4-20mA loops

• Modbus RTU / TCP - Widely adaptable to industrial control and building automation systems

• FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus - Full digital bus, suitable for large-scale refining and chemical projects

• PROFIBUS-PA / DP - Dual scenario coverage of process automation and factory automation

• PROFINET / EtherNet/IP™ - Industrial Ethernet high-speed communication

• PROFINET over Ethernet-APL - Long-distance Ethernet for intrinsically safe areas

The instrument provides three configurable 4…20 mA outputs to meet the simultaneous transmission requirements of multiple parameters. At the same time, Bluetooth® wireless communication is integrated, and it cooperates with Doweston FlowCheck Mobile The mobile application can complete on-site debugging, real-time monitoring and online calibration conveniently and safely. For control room remote access scenarios, the FlowCheck DTM driver can also be provided to achieve comprehensive configuration and diagnosis of instruments from the central control room.

Fast delivery and green design, future-oriented supply chain

FTM-1600Q is based on Doweston's innovative modular production and supply system, which significantly shortens the delivery cycle by optimizing the process of each stage of instrument production. Doweston is committed to standard configurations in the long termDelivery in two weeksThe goal is to help users speed up the pace of project advancement and reduce inventory pressure.

At the product design level, FTM-1600Q adopts a lightweight and environmentally friendly concept. Compared with the previous generation of Coriolis flow meters, the required materials and parts are significantly reduced. This not only reduces production energy consumption and carbon emissions, but also reduces the handling burden of on-site installation, which is in line with the general trend of sustainable development in the industrial field.

FTM-1600Q providesIntegrated and separate typesTwo installation versions are available to meet different site layout needs. Its flange spacing is consistent with the Doweston FTM-1000 series. Old users can easily replace and upgrade without modifying the pipeline, minimizing the downtime of modification.

The launch of the Doweston FTM-1600Q series Coriolis mass flow meter further improves the company's product matrix in the field of flow measurement, providing standard process users with a new choice that combines high performance, high reliability and reasonable cost. With core advantages such as gas management, online diagnosis, full-protocol communication and fast delivery, FTM-1600Q will help more industrial users achieve the multiple goals of accurate metering, intelligent operation and maintenance, and cost reduction and efficiency improvement.
