Re: [foxboro] flow meter

Hi Ken,

Seemed strange to me to, but then again  I have no experience with flow
meters. My collegues from process design and mechanical engineering talked
to yokogawa , but I don't know which type they discussed. I'll ask them
monday and let you know

thanks & Regards

Dirk

This seems strange, we have many many flow meters, all the name brands
typically do either 4-20mA, pulse or both (configurable).
I have never encountered a "quality" meter that would not do 4-20mA.

What type of flow meter technology are you looking at?
Magnetic, DP, Vortex, Thermal, etc...

Hi guys,

Just wondering if any of you are using flowmeters in your piping and
which type you have good experiences with. We're thinking on installing
a Flowmeter in an oil header. We haven't got flowmeters for the moment,
our products usually are not suited for flowmeters. Except for the oil
headers.
We usually work with loadcells but for this project we would need a
flowtransmitter.
Problem seems to be these flowmeters don't transmit 4-20 ma but pulses.
Our DCS can't handle the number of pulses per second, so we'll need a
seperate controller. Are there any flowmeters (2" pipe) that transmit
4-20ma?

Thanks & Rgds

Dirk
