Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the ABB SwirlMaster FSS430 used for?

It measures the volumetric flow of gases, liquids, and steam in industrial process and utility systems.

2. What is the accuracy of the FSS430?

ABB specifies an accuracy of ±0.5% of rate for liquids, gases, and steam.

3. Can the FSS430 measure steam?

Yes. It is suitable for steam flow measurement. Optional integrated temperature measurement can support saturated steam mass-flow calculation.

4. What pipe sizes are available?

The FSS430 is available with flanged process connections from DN 15 to DN 400 (½ to 16 inches).

5. What communication options does the FSS430 support?

Depending on configuration, options include 4–20 mA/HART 7, Modbus RTU, and Ethernet-APL communication variants such as Modbus TCP and PROFINET.

6. Does the FSS430 require long straight pipe sections?

No. It is designed to operate with short upstream and downstream straight-pipe sections, helping simplify installation in space-constrained systems.

7. Is a remote transmitter available?

Yes. A remote transmitter option with a signal cable length of up to 30 m (98 ft.) is available for applicable configurations.

8. How can I request a quotation?

Provide the required flow range, process medium, operating pressure and temperature, pipe size, connection type, and communication requirements to help confirm the appropriate configuration and quotation.
