The FlowScanner 6000 is a powerful valve diagnostic tool that can help you evaluate the performance of all makes and models of control valves—accurately and efficiently.

As a highly portable field test instrument, the FlowScanner 6000 is ideally suited for process plant conditions. There’s no need to remove or disassemble the valves you want to test. Simply hook up the FlowScanner 6000’s sensors, and you’re ready to evaluate the valve’s operating condition and identify any corrective actions that might be required. You can also take advantage of the FlowScanner 6000’s new remote testing capabilities.

Unique Features of the FlowScanner 6000

Convenient, flexible PC control — The FlowScanner 6000 processes valve data through most standard Windows PCs, including laptops, special ruggedized field computers, tablet PCs, or other devices. This allows for the use of the latest and fastest computer technology without having to upgrade the FlowScanner 6000 itself.

Remote testing capabilities — The FlowScanner 6000 communicates with the PC via an Ethernet connection (wired or wireless), which allows you to conduct tests from comfortable, remote locations.

Integrated, accurate pressure scanner — With the pressure transducers being integral and calibrated as a single unit with the FlowScanner 6000, a higher degree of accuracy can be achieved. This also eliminates the concern of mixing non-calibrated pressure transducers.

State-of-the art data acquisition hardware and dedicated Digital Signal Processor — The DAC card offers 16-bit technology for precise measurements and outstanding resolution.

Multiple input capability — The FlowScanner 6000 can give you a comprehensive look at a valve’s performance. The FlowScanner 6000 can look at up to eight individual pneumatic inputs. It also has eight voltage inputs that allow you to measure such things as flow rate, temperature, and pressure within the plant’s process.

Optional Strain Gauge Interface — An optional interface integrates into the operating case, enabling the direct use of stem-mounted strain gauge sensors.

Easy set up and use — Housed in its padded canvas operating bag, the FlowScanner can be carried into and operated in any field situation. Simply hang or place the FlowScanner 6000 near the valve, connect the sensors, and begin testing.

Lightweight, compact and rugged — The FlowScanner 6000’s light, 14-pound weight and compact size make it a highly portable tool that requires little or no work surface. Its rugged aluminum body and sealed keypad and status display also make the unit ideally suited for field use.

Extended battery life — NI - MH (Nickel - Metal Hydrite) batteries and extremely low-power components enhance the FlowScanner 6000’s battery life. One battery charge should deliver a full eight hours of use. Batteries charge in just 3 to 4 hours and can be changed quickly.
