* Instrumentation: Differential Pressure (DP) flow meters, which find widespread application within the oil and gas sector, are robust devices used to measure the rate of flow of a liquid or gas.
The fluid is passed through a restriction - for example the hole in an orifice plate or the throat of a Venturi tube.
By measuring the pressure difference across the restriction, the flowrate can be determined.
Other products from the ABB instrumentation range on display include a range of field devices for measuring temperature and pressure.
* Propulsion Technology: the ABB marine division will be on hand to discuss the Azipod propulsion system and other electric power and propulsion technology that have been supplied for over 50 years, giving it the longest experience and highest number of deliveries of any company in the world.
* Engineering and consultancy: The stand will also highlight the extensive ABB portfolio of engineering services.
These include automation retrofit services such as management information systems, system and product specification and plant optimisation.
Also on display will be the range of Project Solution Services available, from consultancy and project management through to engineering and construction management.
* Service and support: To complete the portfolio, ABB will illustrate its full range of services from installation and commissioning through to after sales and full service support.
ABB has extensive experience of working offshore to minimise risks to personnel, the environment and the plant; to help ensure maximum plant uptime; and to achieve minimum planned downtime by working closely with operators.
