Onboard verification offers greater precision

ABB's electromagnetic WaterMaster flowmeter has now been integrated with what the company claims is the world's first easily accessible and in-situ flowmeter verification capability.

Built into ABB's WaterMaster flowmeter, the VeriMaster system provides users with the ability to perform in-situ verification across the complete range. WaterMaster is designed specifically for the water, waste water and effluent sewage markets. The VeriMaster software tool is based on over 10 years of verification experience within the water industry and takes advantage of WaterMaster's innovative and versatile attributes. Verification diagnostics monitor and validate across an impressive performance-wide matrix, whilst the latest precision flow measurement techniques are employed in the sensor with a revolutionary octagonal bore at core sizes. By using the simultaneous and parallel operation of the HART protocol, remote HMI and cyclic data output are all achieved with zero measurement loss during data capture. Proven in the toughest applications, WaterMaster's rugged and robust sensors provide a long, productive and maintenance free asset life. The addition of the VeriMaster software tool enables operators to quickly produce a printed verification certificate for regulatory compliance.
