(momentum). Oscillation produced by a Coriolis flowmeter where the process media is accelerated around bends results in phase distortions of the measuring tubes. The SITRANS F C sensors are energized by an electromagnetic driver circuit which oscillates the pipes at their resonant frequency. Two pickups are placed symmetrically on either side of the driver to provide position signals for digital processing.
Page 37: Installing/Mounting
Installing/mounting Introduction SITRANS F flowmeters with minimum IP67/NEMA 4X enclosure rating are suitable for indoor and outdoor installations. ● Make sure that specifications for process pressure (PS) and media temperature (TS) plus ambient temperature that are indicated on the device nameplate / label will not be exceeded.
Page 38: Sensor Installation
Installing/mounting 4.3 Sensor installation Sensor installation 4.3.1 Installation safety precautions WARNING High pressure hazard In applications with working pressures/media that can be dangerous to people, surroundings, equipment or others in case of pipe fracture, we recommend that special precautions such as special placement, shielding or installation of a pressure guard or a safety valve are taken when the sensor is mounted.
Page 39: Determining A Location
Refer to the information in "Technical data" (Page 169). Note Material compatibility Siemens can provide you with support concerning selection of sensor components wetted by process media. However, you are responsible for the selection of components. Siemens accepts no liability for faults or failures resulting from incompatible materials.
Page 40: Orientation Of The Sensor
Installing/mounting 4.3 Sensor installation Location in the system The optimum location in the system depends on the application: ● Liquid applications Gas or vapor bubbles in the fluid may result in erroneous measurements, particularly in the density measurement. – Do not install the flowmeter at the highest point in the system, where bubbles will be trapped.
Page 41 Installing/mounting 4.3 Sensor installation Orienting the sensor SITRANS FCS400 operates in any orientation, but Siemens recommends orienting the sensor in one of the following ways: 1. Vertical installation with an upwards flow (self-draining) Figure 4-3 Vertical orientation, upwards flow 2. Horizontal installation, tubes down (only recommended for liquid applications)
Page 42: Mounting The Sensor

Depending on application, you should furthermore ensure the following: ●...
Page 161 Troubleshooting/FAQs 11.2 Troubleshooting sensor-related problems Calculating the measurement error Given the Zero Point Standard Deviation, the error expected for different flow rates can be calculated, without performing time-consuming measurements. So using this formula, one can assess if the application can be used as–is, or whether to use more time improving the installation.
Page 162: Step 4: Improving The Application
Troubleshooting/FAQs 11.2 Troubleshooting sensor-related problems As can be seen, in this case it is not so important that the zero point, that is standard deviation is 1 kg/h. The error due to the zero point is only 0.1% for a flowrate of 1000 kg/h, and even less for a higher flowrate.
Page 163 Troubleshooting/FAQs 11.2 Troubleshooting sensor-related problems 2. Check for cross talk. Turn off the power to the other flow meter(s) and wait approximately 2 minutes, so the vibrating tubes in the sensor have stopped vibrating. Then check if the zero point stability has improved, that is that the fluctuation in kg/h has been reduced.

Page 217: Zero Point Adjustment
Zero point adjustment In the following the automatic zero point adjustment function is described in detail. NOTICE Preconditions Before a zero point adjustment is initiated, the pipe must be flushed, filled and at an absolute flowrate of zero preferably also at operating pressure and temperature. Refer to "Zero point adjustment"...
Page 218 Zero point adjustment The offset value must be within the determined " Offset Limit" (menu item number 2.6.6). NOTICE Exceeded zero point offset limit If the offset value is greater than the configured limit, proceed as follows:  Check that the tube is completely filled and that the flowrate is absolute zero. ...
Page 219: Glossary
Glossary BRIX Degrees Brix (symbol °Brix) is a measurement of the mass ratio of dissolved sugar to water in a liquid. A 25 °Bx solution is 25% (w/w), with 25 grams of sugar per 100 grams of solution. Coriolis The Coriolis effect is an apparent deflection of moving objects from a straight path when they are viewed from a rotating frame of reference.
Page 220 All these factors are customer specific and can’t be simulated at the factory. Therefore Siemens recommends to carry out a zero point adjustment before use. SITRANS FC430 with HART...
