ORIFICE FLOWMETERABB Instrumentation has cut thecost of installing orifice-plateflowmeters by up to half with thelaunch of its OriMaster compact ori­fice DP flowmeter. The latest inABB's new FlowMaster range, theOriMaster is a one-piece flowmeterthat comes fully factory configuredand pressure tested, solving many ofthe problems associated with sizing,selection, installation, and operation

of conventional orifice plate installa­tions. The OriMaster combines allthe major components needed for anorifice plate installa tion in oneassembly and is suitable for clean liq­uids , gases and steam applications inline sizes from 1 to 8 inches (DN25to DN200) and at pressures up to1450 psi (100 bar).

ABB offers two orifice bores foreach pipe size, simplifying theselection process. The flowmetercomes in rwo versions: one for vol­umetric readings (OriMasrer V)and the other for mass flow(OriMaster M). OriMaster V suitsgeneral purpose volume measure­ment, featuring a stainless steel

transmitter housing and meterbody. It provides an optional flowrate and total display as well as ananalog output. OriMaster M pro­vides measurements directly inmass or corrected volume units. Ituses ABB's 267CS multivariabletransmitter to measure differentialpressure, temperature, and pres­sure, and provides an optional dis­play and analog output.

rate, ensuring that materials are dis­pensed repeatedly and accurately.The Model 455 valve has a patentedover-stroke adjustment, positiveshut-off, and disposable inert wettedparts, enabling users to obtain mil­lions of cycles from a single piece oftubing. This valve can be used as adispense valve or as an in-line, twoway (on-off) valve with adjustableflow. Teflon tubing is the recom­mended standard for this valve, butit can be quickly converted to useother tubing materials, such as sili­cone, urethane, polyethylene, or vinyltubing.

The Model 455 dispensing valvewasdesigned to be easily integrated intoautomated assembly lines and can befitted with a number ofdifferent styledispense tips and spray nozzles. Thisvalve can dispense a large assortmentof low-to-medium viscosity materialsincluding adhesives, UV resins, flux,gels, acids, sealants, cyanoacrylates,lubricants, paints, medical media, sol­vents, RTV, anaerobics, and alkalis.For more information, call (860) 626­6700, e-mail info@tridak.com. or visitwww.tridak.com.
