The ProcessMaster FER620 flowmeter 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 flowrates. 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. The ProcessMaster flowmeters have a modular design, providing sustainable and futureproof devices that 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 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. — ABB, Inc., Zurich, Switzerland
