product description
It supports IO-Link/RS485 data communication. This diverse communication method enables the sensor to be efficiently connected with various different devices and systems. Whether it is the control system in the industrial automation production line or the server in the remote monitoring center, they can all smoothly interact with FM120 for data, achieving real-time data transmission and sharing. Meanwhile, it also supports integrated temperature measurement. This means that while monitoring the flow rate, the temperature of the medium can also be precisely measured, providing users with more comprehensive information. This function is particularly important for some industrial production processes that are sensitive to temperature, as it can help users better control the production environment and product quality. Through these advanced functions, users can remotely monitor the real-time traffic status. No matter where you are, as long as there is a network connection, you can view the flow data collected by the sensors anytime and anywhere, and keep abreast of the dynamics of the production site in a timely manner. Moreover, its all-parameter on-site arbitrary setting function endows users with great operational autonomy. Staff can flexibly adjust the parameters of the sensors on site according to the actual situation to meet different measurement requirements. The flow rate of the medium measured by its turbine is processed by the sensor function circuit and then programmed arbitrarily. This characteristic makes the sensor highly flexible and adaptable. Users can personalize the programming Settings of the sensor according to different application scenarios and measurement requirements, enabling the sensor to better meet their own special needs. Whether measuring low-viscosity liquids or medium-viscosity fluids, the FM120 can accurately complete the measurement tasks, providing reliable data support for industrial production and scientific research.
Product Application
Suitable for measuring low viscosity media such as water, diesel, and gasoline. Widely used in the fields of industrial automation, petroleum, chemical, metallurgy, scientific research, etc.
1. Industrial Automation Field
On industrial automated production lines, turbine flow sensors are used to precisely control and monitor the flow of various fluid media, ensuring the efficient and stable operation of the production process. For instance, in food and beverage production lines, the precise proportioning of raw materials such as water, syrup, and carbon dioxide is the key to ensuring product quality and taste. The turbine flow sensor can measure the flow of these fluids quickly and accurately. In combination with the automatic control system, it can achieve precise transportation and mixing of raw materials. In the pharmaceutical industry, the transportation and filling of liquid medicine have extremely high requirements for the accuracy of flow control. The turbine flow sensor, with its high precision and reliability, can ensure that the liquid medicine is accurately transported and filled according to the specified dosage, avoiding the impact on the quality of the medicine due to dosage deviation. In addition, in an automated sewage treatment system, it can monitor the flow of sewage and treatment chemicals in real time, providing data support for the system to automatically adjust the treatment process parameters and improving the efficiency of sewage treatment.
2. Petroleum Industry
In the oil extraction process, turbine flow sensors are often used to measure the flow of the produced fluid at the wellhead, helping engineers understand the production status of the oil well and rationally arrange the extraction plan. In the process of crude oil transportation, whether it is long-distance pipeline transportation or the loading and unloading operations of oil tankers, accurate measurement of crude oil flow is of vital importance. The turbine flow sensor can precisely measure the crude oil flow, providing reliable data for trade settlement. It is also convenient to monitor the flow changes during the transportation process and promptly detect abnormal situations such as pipeline leakage and blockage. In petroleum refining and chemical enterprises, turbine flow sensors are used to monitor the flow of various petroleum products (such as gasoline, diesel, lubricating oil, etc.) during production, storage and transportation, ensuring the smooth progress of the production process and the accurate measurement and delivery of the products.
3. Chemical Industry
The chemical production process involves the handling of numerous fluid materials, and the turbine flow sensor plays an indispensable role in it. In the transportation and proportioning of chemical raw materials, for various corrosive, flammable and explosive chemical liquids (such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, benzene, etc.), the turbine flow sensor can work stably under harsh working conditions, accurately measure the flow rate, and ensure that the chemical reaction proceeds according to the predetermined formula. In the separation processes such as distillation and extraction of chemical products, by monitoring the flow rate of the relevant fluids, the separation efficiency and product quality can be effectively controlled. For instance, in the operation of a distillation column, accurately controlling the flow rates of feed, reflux and discharge helps to enhance the distillation effect and obtain high-purity chemical products. Meanwhile, in the flow monitoring of chemical pipelines, turbine flow sensors can promptly detect abnormal fluctuations in flow, providing a basis for process adjustment and fault diagnosis, and ensuring the safety and stability of chemical production.
4. Metallurgical Industry
In metallurgical production, turbine flow sensors are mainly used to monitor the flow of fluids such as cooling water, oxygen, and nitrogen. During the steel smelting process, a large amount of cooling water is used to cool equipment such as blast furnaces and converters, ensuring that the equipment operates at an appropriate temperature. The turbine flow sensor can monitor the flow of cooling water in real time. Once the flow is insufficient or abnormal, the system can promptly alarm and take corresponding measures to prevent the equipment from being damaged due to overheating. In addition, during the oxygen top-blown converter steelmaking process, precisely controlling the oxygen flow rate is crucial for enhancing the steelmaking efficiency and the quality of molten steel. The turbine flow sensor can accurately measure the oxygen flow rate, providing data support for the optimization of the steelmaking process. In the gas supply system of metallurgical plants, the flow monitoring of protective gases such as nitrogen also relies on turbine flow sensors to ensure the stability of gas supply and meet the requirements of the production process.
5. Scientific Research Field
In scientific research experiments, turbine flow sensors are often used to precisely measure the flow of various fluids, providing accurate data for experimental research. For example, in fluid mechanics experiments, researchers measure the flow rate of fluids under different conditions through turbine flow sensors, and analyze the flow characteristics and laws of fluids. In environmental science research, it can be used to monitor the flow changes of water bodies and study the ecosystems and water resource conditions of rivers and lakes. In chemical experiments, for some reaction processes that require precise control of fluid flow, turbine flow sensors can help researchers accurately grasp reaction conditions, improve the repeatability and accuracy of experiments, and facilitate the acquisition and innovation of scientific research achievements.
