ONICON FT-3220-13111-2121-101

 

Introduction: The ONICON FT-3220-13111-2121-101 Inline Electromagnetic Flow Meter is a premium process-grade fluid diagnostics instrument belonging to the high-efficiency FT-3000 Series portfolio, engineered and manufactured 100% in the United States (USA Origin) by ONICON Incorporated. Utilizing Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction to determine deterministic fluid velocities, this sophisticated meter features a completely unobstructed internal flow path that contains absolutely no moving mechanical parts. This non-intrusive layout completely bypasses pipeline pressure drop overheads, eliminates the risk of particulate clogging or debris accumulation, and ensures continuous plant operation with minimal long-term maintenance overheads.

The defining operational benefit of the FT-3220-13111-2121-101 variant lies in its specialized Integral Mount engineering architecture. The electronic transmitter unit is mounted flush directly on top of the flow sensing tube, profiling an integrated graphical display screen. This setup empowers field maintenance technicians to quickly read real-time instantaneous flow rates and accumulated totalizer metrics directly on the pipeline without installing secondary panel enclosures. Hardened for challenging field layouts, the system features an IP67-rated weather-proof enclosure providing complete barrier immunity against airborne dust infiltration and temporary external moisture submersion. Wet-calibrated and fully pre-configured at the factory, the instrument guarantees an elite system accuracy rating spanning between ±0.2% and ±0.4% of active reading. It comes equipped with synchronized telemetry paths featuring a linear analog 4-20mA loop, a discrete Digital Output, and 2 programmable Pulse Outputs for seamless, zero-latency integration into supervisory PLC/SCADA/BMS control nodes.

⚠️ CRITICAL TECHNICAL OPERATIONAL PROMPT:

  • Fluid Media Prerequisites: Because this instrument operates on electromagnetic induction principles, it requires conductive liquids to function. It is natively optimized for water and industrial glycol-water solutions, but remains completely incompatible with non-conductive media such as demineralized/distilled pure water, chemical oils, or petroleum fluids.

  • Hydraulic Alignment Profile: To preserve the factory-certified ±0.2% to ±0.4% calibration threshold, the meter must be positioned in a location that guarantees a continuous full-pipe state, supported by standard upstream and downstream straight pipe runs to dissipate fluid swirls or cavitation profiles.
