FCT040 is the advanced transmitter, offering a wider range of application solutions with improved performance. The user can select additional measurements and functions at time of ordering to include concentration (fraction), viscosity, batch control and heat calculation.
The FCT040 transmitter is available in compact or remote design and can be combined with all SITRANS FC sensors. The selection is made within the complete SITRANS FC ordering code.
Spare transmitters are selected using the SITRANS FC ordering code, but with no sensor selected.
Following features are available in the FCT040 transmitter:
Tube health check

This function calculates the total fuel calorific value of the measured fluid. Either a constant value of the calorific value of the fluid can be used, or an additional device like a gas chromatograph can provide the instantaneous calorific value via the analog input of the FCT040 transmitter. Based on the fluid flow, the total calorific energy of the fluid is calculated.
