Key Benefits and Advantages
Superior Two-Phase Flow Capability The 2400S excels in applications that typically cause traditional flow meters to fail. Its advanced MVD digital processing is optimized for two-phase flow, making it the industry-leading choice for batching, loading, and applications involving entrained gas. Whether dealing with “slug flow” or fluids with high gas content, the 2400S maintains stable and accurate measurement.
Reliable Performance in Empty-to-Empty Batching The transmitter features specialized diagnostics designed for batching from empty. This capability ensures that the meter can accurately capture the start and end of a flow cycle, even when the tubes are not fully primed, which is essential for loading trucks, railcars, or filling vessels in specialty chemical and food processes.
Non-Intrusive Operation with Optical Buttons To enhance safety and ease of use in the field, the 2400S features a local operator interface with optical buttons. This allows technicians to navigate menus and change configurations directly through the display glass. By eliminating the need to remove the transmitter cover, users can avoid opening the housing in hazardous areas, maintaining the environmental seal and preventing the need for hot work permits.
Smart Meter Verification (SMV) For continuous measurement integrity, the 2400S includes Smart Meter Verification. This tool performs an in-process health check of the entire meter—including the sensor tubes and electronics—while the process is running. This provides documented proof of the meter’s performance and calibration without requiring a technician to be onsite or interrupting production.
Hazardous Area Versatility The 2400S is designed for safety and reliability in industrial environments, carrying Class 1, Div. 2 (Zone 2) hazardous area approvals for both the sensor and the transmitter. This makes it a robust solution for plants where explosive atmospheres may be present during abnormal conditions.
