World-Class Quality and Performance

Azbil has designed, manufactured, and supplied industrial field instrumentation used in North America for decades. Our customers rely on accurate flow measurement to keep their processes running.

Advanced Pressure Transmitters

Gage, absolute, and differential pressure transmitters measure flow, level, and pressure in the harshest environments. Every Model GTX advanced pressure transmitter features standard Bilingual DE / HART® digital communications protocols to extend the life of legacy DE loops — no need to replace working pressure transmitters when upgrading to HART®, just reconfigure the already-installed transmitter when you are ready. Remote seal and extended stem options are available for high temperature and highly corrosive applications.

MagneW™ Electromagnetic Flowmeters

MagneW™ Electromagnetic Flowmeters are ideal for accurate flow measurement of conductive fluids, with options available for difficult black liquor applications. Pressure drop is minimal; electromagnetic meters are not as susceptible to non-laminar flow as other instruments and can be installed closer to bends and elbows in pipes.

MagneW™ PLUS+ Smart High-Performance 4-Wire Electromagnetic Flowmeters

Converter model MGG14C (integral or remote) paired with flanged detector flow tube model MGG18F or wafer-style flow tube MGG18D utilizes a mirror-finished PFA liner mechanically locked onto a metal substrate for years of trouble-free flow measurement — no blistering, peeling, or warping, even under thermal shock or vacuum conditions.

MagneW™ Two-Wire PLUS+ Loop-Powered Electromagnetic Flowmeters

Integral model MTG18A and remote model MTG14C/MTG18B combine proven performance with low power requirements. All MTG meters are FM non-incendive for use in Class I, II, and III hazardous environments and do not require dedicated signal and excitation cables, reducing wiring, installation, and operating costs in remote areas.

Multivariable Mass Flow Vortex Flowmeters

Designed for reduced pressure drop in superheated steam flow measurement. Density compensation provides accurate and reliable mass flow measurement, and optional RTD temperature sensors enable real-time energy metering.

Inline models AX22 and AX24 are configurable for pipe sizes from ½” to 12” (15 mm to 300 mm). Reduced bore options locally increase fluid velocity for low-flow applications, effectively reducing the low-flow cutoff point.

Insertion model AX23 is an economical option for installation in larger pipes and is hot-tappable, allowing installation without process shutdown.

AGVB / AGVM Control Valves

Model AGVB and AGVM control valves offer large Cv values and high rangeability for reliable and tight flow shutoff. They are suitable for general use with water, steam, gas, and other process media. Additional options are available for extreme temperatures and oil-free service.

Raised-flange models AGVB and AGVM meet ANSI 150 (AGVB) and ANSI 300 (AGVM) pressure ratings and are designed for excellent flow control with minimal pressure loss in a compact valve body. Available in nominal port sizes from ½” to 4”, these valves meet Class IV, IV-S1, V, and VI IEC seat leakage standards.

When coupled with Azbil actuators, smart valve positioners, and accessories such as pressure regulators, AGVB and AGVM control valves provide ideal general-use flow control.

Smart Valve Positioners

The AVP300 and AVP700 series smart valve positioners are reliable, universal, and easy to use and service. They are compatible with valves from all major manufacturers worldwide.

Their body design isolates electrical circuits from process media, protecting against moisture, oil, and dust. Advanced diagnostics inform users of process conditions and valve deterioration.

The AVP300 series features an auto-calibration cycle activated by an externally accessible switch, maintaining hazardous location integrity.

The AVP700 series includes integrated pressure sensors, enhanced diagnostics, and a local user interface with pushbuttons and display for calibration, configuration, and diagnostics without compromising explosion-proof construction.
