Siemens SITRANS FS230 (Gas) Ultrasonic Clamp-On Flow Meter
Non-Intrusive Ultrasonic Gas Flow Meter with AGA-9 Accuracy and Hazardous Area Approvals
Able Instruments are a Siemens Authorised Channel Partner in the UK and Ireland, including the SITRANS FS230 (Gas) ultrasonic clamp-on flow meter. The SITRANS FS230 (Gas) is Siemens’ flagship non-intrusive clamp-on system for precision measurement of gas flow. It is designed to provide high accuracy, advanced diagnostics, and installation flexibility across a wide range of pipe sizes and gas types — including natural gas, process gases, and specialty gases.
Built around the powerful FST030 transmitter and FSS200 sensors, the FS230 (Gas) achieves accuracy levels of 0.5–1.0% with repeatability down to 0.25%. The system conforms to AGA-9 standards and supports pipe diameters from 0.5″ up to 10 metres. It operates without process interruption, cutting, or welding, making it ideal for retrofit or difficult-to-access installations.
Key Features:
- Non-intrusive clamp-on design: No process interruption, cutting or welding
- Gas flow accuracy: Up to ±0.5–1.0%, AGA-9 compliant
- Wide pipe compatibility: For pipes from 0.5″ up to 10 m diameter
- High-performance transmitter: Siemens FST030 with fast processing and diagnostics
- Advanced signal processing: High-Performance Tracking (HPT) for stable, accurate readings
- SensorFlash® memory: Onboard data storage and easy sensor replacement
- Hazardous area certified: ATEX, IECEx, FM and CSA approvals
- Flexible installation: Suitable for a wide range of industrial and energy sector applications
