ABB P 266CSH CST 266JSH JST

Overview 266CSH/CST

The multivariable transmitters in the 266CSH are used for differential pressure flow measurements. Apart from pressure- and / or temperature-dependent changes to the density of the fluid, the parameters such as the discharge coefficient, thermal expansion of pipelines and primary device and the Reynolds number are also corrected. It can also be used for DP level measurement if density compensation is necessary due to process temperature changes. This could make any level measurement much more reliable.In addition to high precision, the multivariable 266 also offers the advantage that only a single device needs to be used for the measuring point instead of several transmitters and a flow calculator.

Data 266CSH/CST

  • Base accuracy: ± 0.075 %
  • Reduced process penetrations save money and reduce the risk of leakage
  • High static working pressure option (41 MPa, 6000 psi) for power plants, pipelines or oil and gas production
  • True draft range (down to 0.05 kPa, 0.2i nH2O) transmitter
  • Local operation with LCD with TTG (Through The Glass) technology without the need of opening the housing
  • Detection of plugged impulse lines
  • Integrated totalizers and in addition a binary output as pulse or frequency output for activating external totalizers
  • Exchangeable electronics with automatic configuration capability

Overview 266JSH/JST

Reliably providing the most accurate measurement of DP, SP, temperature, and diagnostics every single second

The 266 Modbus® multivariable provides precise and reliable measurement of differential pressure, static pressure, temperature (from an external RTD) and diagnostic information once every second, to flow computers and RTUs. Individual device Modbus® addresses can easily be configured using the optional keypad/display or using the XMV Interface application in ABB’s Totalflow flow computers or RTUs. This application creates a “plug and play” interface to the multivariable sensor and indicates any active alarms that may be present in easily understood text. The combination of ABB’s Totalflow flow computer or RTU and one or more ABB 266 Modbus® multivariables makes an ideal solution when multi-tube measurement is required and/ or when the transmitters must be located in a Class I, Division 1 hazardous location.

How do I determine which instruments I need and their cost?

This depends on what you are needing to control or measure, your operating environment, your specific process flow, and many other factors. Durkin’s process specialists can help you determine the specific process instruments (down to the part number) that suit your application, budget, and expected life-span the best. Call (314) 432-2040 or contact us.

What is process instrumentation?

Process Instrumentation are sensors and instruments used to measure and control process variables including levels, flow, pressure, temperature, pH, and humidity.

In-field instruments, such as flowmeters or temperature sensors, are close to the process or measurement point, or may even have process liquids flowing through them. Panel instruments not usually where the process is happening, but are rather located ina controlled room or with the line controls.

Common types of process instrumentation include: flow meters, rotometers, level sensors, temperature sensors, recorders (to record process data), actuators, valves, gas analyzers, positioners, and actuators.

What symbols are used for process instruments?

Depending on the program, plant standards, and engineering firm that did the drawings, symbols for process instrumentation can vary. You should have been supplied with a lead or legend sheet that defines the symbols for the particular set of drawings you are looking at. However, there are a common set of generally agreed upon symbols, examples of which you can reference here.

Robert Cook at AiCHe has put out an excellent blog post on interpreting and using instrumentation symbols. If that doesn’t help, contact Durkin and one of our team members can help you solve the mystery: (314) 432-2040

Do you only supply the brands listed?

We carry a wide-range of process instrumentation and solutions. You can see our full supplier list here, but we may be able to source brands or point you the right distributor for other brands. More importantly, we can help you determine the appropriate instrumentation and controls solutions needed to solve your process issues.
