Lifecycle Reality — EOL Hot, Sourcing Path
The manufacturer records this part at an EOL Hot lifecycle stage. That means ABB has formally ended production — no further manufacturing runs are planned. For the procurement team filling a BOM line or the MRO planner holding a spare for a critical purge skid, the only viable channel is the independent surplus and broker market. There is no official ABB successor order code on record for this part, so any cross-reference must be validated against your specific application — pinout, supply voltage, and flow range.
Deployment Context — Purge Flow Monitoring
A PURGEMASTER flowmeter typically lives on a purge gas or liquid supply line — think analyzer shelters, seal gas panels on compressors, or nitrogen blanketing on storage tanks. The digital output feeds a PLC or DCS analog input card. Given the EOL status, if this unit is in a safety-instrumented function (SIL-rated loop), verify that the replacement path maintains the same proof-test coverage and failure-mode behavior. No IP rating is on record, so assume indoor, non-washdown installation unless the original panel specification says otherwise.
