ABB OriMaster Flow Meter Brochure
-- Product News, 3 February 2010
ABB Instrumentation has released an eight-page color brochure for OriMaster, a complete one-piece, orifice-plate DP flowmeter. According to the brochure, OriMaster comes as a complete flow meter assembly, factory configured to user specifications and fully pressure-tested before delivery.
The brochure notes that problems with conventional orifice plates fitted with outsourced differential pressure flowmeter and manifold assemblies include measurement inaccuracy and repeatability, high cost of installation, risk of leakage from impulse pipe joints, and other disruptive issues. Graphics in the brochure illustrate the volumetric and mass-flow versions of OriMaster and point out such features as stainless steel transmitter housings, optional LCD readout, and the integral three-valve manifold. Another illustration highlights traditional leak points of conventional orifice-plate installations.
