Model Foxboro FCM100ET
Measurement Principle Coriolis Mass Flow
Primary Measurements - Mass Flow
- Density
- Temperature
Derived Measurements - Volume Flow (inferred)
- Percent Solids / Concentration
- API Gravity, %Brix, etc.
Outputs - Dual 4-20 mA analog outputs (user-configurable for mass flow, density, etc.)
- Pulse/Frequency Output (for totalization or batch control)
- Digital Communications: HART® protocol (standard), Foundation Fieldbus, or PROFIBUS PA (options)
Power Supply Standard: 10.5 to 42 V DC (loop-powered for 4-20 mA)
With digital comms (e.g., Fieldbus): 9 to 32 V DC
Housing Rating Explosion-Proof / Flameproof
- Class I, Division 1, Groups B, C, D (North America)
- ATEX / IECEx: Ex d IIC T6 Gb (Europe / International)
Enclosure Material Cast aluminum with epoxy paint
Process Connections Varies based on the paired flow tube sensor (e.g., flanged, threaded, sanitary). The transmitter itself has conduit entries.
Accuracy (Typical) - Mass Flow: ±0.10% of rate (liquid), ±0.25% of rate (gas)
- Density: ±0.0005 g/cm³ (±0.5 kg/m³)
- Temperature: ±1°C (±1.8°F)
Ambient Temperature -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F)
Display Optional local operator interface (LOI) available for configuration and readout.
The Foxboro FCM100ET is a highly reliable, Coriolis mass flow transmitter from the FCM100 series, manufactured by Foxboro/Emerson. It is designed for direct and highly accurate measurement of mass flow, density, temperature, and concentration of liquids and slurries in a wide range of industrial processes.
