Overview
The Foxboro 2803-SABA-TSA-G /C is a 2800 Series magnetic flowtube engineered for process industries requiring precise flow measurement of conductive liquids. This flowtube is designed to operate in harsh outdoor or in-plant environments with weatherproof General Purpose housing. It operates with I/A Series MagEXPERT Intelligent Magnetic Flow Transmitters using eX-Pulse coil excitation and E96 Series Magnetic Flow Transmitters using ac coil excitation.
Key Features
- Measures the volumetric flow rate of virtually any conductive liquid
- Weatherproof General Purpose NEMA 4X housing suitable for remote-mounted transmitter installations
- Dual calibration for pulsed dc from 896 Transmitter or 120V 60Hz (E96) 1.2A capability
- Proven reliability with tens of thousands of successful installations since 1954
- Standard flange-type construction for easy installation and maintenance
