Overview
The SITRANS FST030 is a high-performance clamp-on signal converter developed using the latest advancements in Digital Signal Processing (DSP). It offers exceptional measurement accuracy, fast response to sudden flow changes, high noise immunity, and user-friendly installation, operation, and maintenance.
The FST030 provides true multi-parameter flow measurement, including volumetric flow, standard volumetric flow, density, mass flow, ultrasonic transit time, and media temperature.
With multiple output channels and fieldbus communication support, all key process variables can be recorded in real time (10 ms update rate) or periodically as required by the control system.
