A new flow computer from Spirax Sarco provides accurate monitoring of saturated or superheated steam consumption, providing a simple and versatile way to help monitor energy costs.

The M800 takes a 4-20mA signal from a range of pipeline transmitters and converts it into flowrate, total flow, pressure and temperature readings. Users can choose whether to display flow calculations in terms of mass of steam or energy flows. Metric and imperial units are offered. A 4-20mA output enables re-transmission of data to a chart recorder or BMS.

The display can be set to show trends in graphical form.
