• ABB upgrades ProcessMaster FER620 sensor to benefit customers in water abstraction, water treatment and water distribution;
• New configuration designed for buriable applications and low-flow conditions;
• Fully welded and hermetically sealed sensor delivers greater accuracy, reliability and efficiency in challenging applications.
The ProcessMaster FER620 features a rugged, fully welded and hermetically sealed sensor that ensures long‑term stability and performance in the most challenging environments across pumping stations, water abstraction, water treatment, water distribution and irrigation.
The ProcessMaster FER620 sensor design supports direct burial of the flowmeter without the need for a chamber. The sensor is protected against continuous submersion in water with an IP68 rating.
Thanks to a reduced bore, the sensor can measure from very low velocities to up to 10 m/s, giving it a high turndown range. This ensures highly accurate measurement in low-flow conditions such as night flow rates. With a 0xD/0xD installation design, it requires zero straight pipe clearance either upstream or downstream of the flowmeter, a perfect fit when space is a premium.
“Customers across the water sector are demanding solutions that are robust, flexible, and ready for the realities of modern water infrastructure,” said Krishna Prashanth, Global Product Line Manager, Electromagnetic Flowmeters, at ABB’s Measurement & Analytics division. “The ability of ProcessMaster FER620 to maintain accuracy in challenging scenarios with limited straight‑run makes it a strong fit across the full water cycle.”
The ProcessMaster flowmeters have a modular design that stems from ABB’s commitment to providing sustainable and futureproof solutions which reduce waste going to landfill. Modularity enables customers to adapt to changing technological landscapes and operational requirements without significant overhauls. This lowers total cost of ownership and enhances the lifecycle of products.
IoT connectivity is embedded across all of ABB’s ProcessMaster models. Users have a choice of high-speed communication options for plant-based or remote in-the-field metering applications, providing greater visibility and control of connected flowmeter assets with enhanced data analytics and process control opportunities.
