Jim,

If you already have the flowmeter (pulse rate proportional to flow rate) and 
you do not have an FBM that will accept the signal, then you could get a 
converter such as Action Instruments. You will need to specify a maximum flow 
rate and then figure the Hz that corresponds to get the device calibrated 
correctly. (http://www.actionio.com/products/transpak/t773.html)

Likely less expensive than a new FBM. Loop powered from the FBM01 or 04.

PS - Alex, it's in the family!

Yea, Jerry. :)

Dirk,

Ditto. This seems a peculiar question.

Yes, there are lots of flow meters that operate with a 4-20 mA signal
and
HART protocol on top of that. There's not much point in a flow
transmitter
that doesn't interface with a standard type of signal. Perhaps you're
looking at a turbine or Coriolis type meter. We use a lot of Coriolis
(Micromotion brand) meters, that provide configurable signals, both
frequency and 4-20 mA HART. We control batch and continuous processes
with
them, and we make liberal use of the temperature and density
measurements
that are provided to estimate composition. We're using them in 2 inch
pipe
as well as smaller and larger sizes.

I'm sure your Invensys IPS account manager could offer a full line of
compatible flow transmitters, and the I/O cards to match.

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
