Introduction
The FCC800 Marine-Grade Coriolis Mass Flow Meter represents the next generation of process instrumentation, specifically calibrated for the harsh realities of maritime and heavy industrial operations. Unlike traditional volumetric meters that struggle with pressure changes, the FCC800 provides true mass flow readings, ensuring your data remains unaffected by fluctuating fluid properties.
Designed to be the backbone of fuel efficiency and process integrity, this sensor combines laboratory-grade precision with an industrial-strength enclosure. Whether you are monitoring bunker fuel viscosity on a vessel or managing aggressive chemical dosing in a plant, the FCC800 delivers the critical, multi-parameter data needed to optimize performance and reduce waste.
Working principle
The FCC800 utilizes the Coriolis principle to turn fluid mechanics into actionable data:
-
Resonant Oscillation: The flow tubes are energized to vibrate at a precise natural frequency.
-
Inertial Phase Shift: As media travels through the vibrating tubes, inertia causes a measurable twist (phase shift) in the tube's motion. This shift is directly correlated to the mass flow rate.
-
Frequency Analysis: The frequency of the tube's vibration changes with the fluid's mass, allowing the device to instantly calculate density.
-
Real-Time Computation: Onboard electronics decode these physical shifts into digital values for flow, density, and temperature, transmitting them instantly to your control room.
Key features
To simplify installation and meet regulatory compliance, this meter offers a suite of benefits designed to maximize uptime and measurement confidence:
1. Comprehensive Multi-Variable Analysis
The FCC800 Coriolis meter acts as an all-in-one station, concurrently monitoring mass flow, volume, medium density, and temperature, which eliminates the need for separate density meters and temperature sensors.
2. Engineered for Extreme Environments
With an IP67-rated housing and advanced vibration decoupling, this FCC800 lineup ensures stable readings even amidst the mechanical noise of ship engines or high-pressure pumping stations.
3. Universal Media Handling
From non-conductive fluids and viscous heavy oils to slurries containing suspended solids, this meter handles complex media that would clog or confuse other technologies. It is equally effective for gas measurement applications.
4. Zero-Maintenance Design
With no moving parts to wear out and no internal obstructions to trap debris, the FCC800 dramatically lowers operational costs. Its non-intrusive design ensures a long lifecycle with minimal downtime.
5. Installation Flexibility
The FCC800 requires no flow conditioning, meaning you don't need long straight pipe runs before or after the meter. It fits directly into tight piping layouts without sacrificing accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the FCC800 Coriolis mass flow meter?
The FCC800 is a Coriolis mass flow meter that directly measures the mass flow rate, density and temperature of liquids and gases in closed pipelines. It features an IP67 housing and digital signal processing, and is used in marine fuel systems, chemical dosing lines and industrial automation.
2. How does the FCC800 work?
- Resonant oscillation: the flow tubes are driven to vibrate at their natural frequency.
- Phase shift: as the medium flows through the vibrating tubes, inertia causes a measurable twist (phase shift) in the tube motion, which is proportional to the mass flow rate.
- Frequency analysis: the vibration frequency changes with the fluid's density, allowing density to be calculated.
- Computation: the electronics convert these signals into flow, density and temperature values and transmit them to the control system.
3. What parameters does the FCC800 measure?
It measures mass flow rate, density and temperature. Volume flow is also available. One FCC800 can replace separate flow meters, density meters and temperature sensors at a measuring point.
4. What media can the FCC800 measure?
The FCC800 measures gases, liquids, slurries and suspensions. Measurement does not depend on conductivity, so it can also handle non-conductive fluids and viscous heavy oils.
5. Is the measurement affected by viscosity, pressure or temperature changes?
No. The FCC800 measures mass directly using the Coriolis force, so readings are not affected by changes in viscosity, pressure or flow profile, and no temperature or pressure compensation is required.
