Comprehensive solutions for coal-fired
power generation
The coal-fired power generation industry now demands much more of its control
and instrumentation suppliers — and Foxboro is delivering.
Our Foxboro Pressure and Temperature transmitters are used throughout the
coal-fired plant: Fuel Systems, Fermenters, Gas Storage, Water Treatment, Boiler
Feed Water, Boiler Drum, Steam Line, Cooling Water System, Generator, Condenser,
Gas Cleaning System, Flue Gas Desulfurization, Residuals Storage and Stack.
Industry solutions for combined-cycle generation
The combined-cycle power generation industry demands much more of its control and
instrumentation suppliers — and Foxboro is delivering.
Our Foxboro pressure, temperature transmitters and flow meters are used throughout
the combined-cycle power plant: Fuels Systems, Heat Recovery Steam Generators,
Steam and Gas Turbine Controls, Water Treatment, Boiler Feed Water, Boiler Drum,
Steam Line, and Cooling Water System.
Today’s power plants evaluate instrumentation options, and look to obtain the best
price, the best technology, and the best performance guarantee. Foxboro instrumentation
innovations are allied with industry-leading Invensys brands for systems, software, and
services. Together, our offerings greatly improve your operation’s economic, safety,
and environmental performance, while balancing the availability and utilization of all your
assets: people, equipment, energy, and inventory.
Foxboro Automation Solutions
With over 100 years of experience and 1700 power generation units under control,
enabling 20% of the worldwide generation capacity, it’s no wonder that Foxboro is
viewed as a premier supplier of innovative power plant instrumentation.

Boiler Drum Level
The Foxboro IMV31
multivariable transmitter
provides accurate tank level
measurement and delivers
that accuracy in both open
or closed vessels.
Boiler Drum Level
Steam Pressure
The Foxboro IGP10 and
IGP20 pressure lines can
reliably measure pressures
up to 5000 psi. Alterna-
tively, if the Foxboro IMV30
is used for steam flow, the
steam pressure measure-
ment can be received from
the same transmitter.
Steam Pressure
Furnace Pressure
Foxboro has multiple
steam flow measurement
solutions from our IDP10
differential pressure to our
IMV30 multivariable trans-
mitter with compensation
for pressure and tempera-
ture to our 84 vortex flow
meter,whichcanaccurately
measure high turndown
for temperatures to 800˚ F
and pressures to class
1500 lb. ANSI.
Pressure and Vortex
Total Air Flow
The Foxboro IMV30 multi-
variable flow transmitter
combined with a Veris
Averaging Pitot Tube pro-
vide reliable compensated
air flow measurement along
with reduced unrecovered
pressure loss, resulting in
lower air flow horsepower
requirement.
Foxboro / Veris Flow Meter
Gauge
Foxboro IGP10 and
IGP20 pressure transmit-
ters provide confident
pressure measurement
for all areas of the boiler,
such as steam and
feedwater pressure, as
well as all auxiliary areas
of the plant, such as water
treatment, wastewater
treatment, and heat
exchangers.
Differential
The Foxboro IDP10
differential and IMV30
multivariable transmitters
have been proven in use
for flow, level, and filter
differential measurement.
Sulfur Emissions
The Foxboro DolpHin pH
sensors utilize a proprietary
glass formulation
for high temperature
service, allowing use in
applications with tempera-
tures as high as 250˚ F.
Vortex
For applications that
require higher range
ability and/or higher
accuracy, the Foxboro
model 84 vortex meter
provides a “Best in Class”
solution for steam,
liquid, and gas flow
measurement.

pH Measurement
Rugged Foxboro pH
sensors and transmitters
measure the very low pH
of high purity boiler water.
Low impedance pH glass
and two-wire 24-volt trans-
mitters capable of support-
ing WirelessHART result
in a reliable easy to install
system.
876PH Transmitter and EP462
DI Water Measure
Accurate Foxboro vortex
flow meters are capable
of measuring liquids,
gases and steam.
84-Series provides addi-
tional value by allowing
for higher turndown and
straightrunthantraditional
vortex meters. Compared
to orifice plates, 84-series
provides for less pressure
loss through the process. 84-Series Vortex Flow Meter
