One such product is the CalMaster2, the first in-situ verification system for battery and mains-powered electromagnetic flowmeters.
The CalMaster2 suite is comprised of two elements.
The CalMaster IRIS (Intelligent Recognition Information System) is a standalone battery-powered test device that verifies an in-situ flow meter system.

A 72-hour "Race to Innovation" co-sponsored recently by ABB in China resulted in 17 patent filings after three days of brainstorming
It allows the user to perform in-situ verification of both the ABB mains and battery-powered flow meter systems.
CheckMaster is a field validation device that checks whether a MagMaster or AquaMaster metering system has been installed properly and is functioning correctly.
Alongside the CalMaster will be the recently launched AquaMaster GSM-SMS electromagnetic flow meter.
Based on the same technology as a mobile phone, the AquaMaster can now be contacted using a PC or laptop, or through a mobile phone via SMS messaging.
Providing immediate access to a host of flow data, the AquaMaster GSM-SMS eliminates the time, cost and potential errors traditionally associated with the manual collection of flowmeter information.
This equipment will be accompanied by other examples of the ABB flow product range, including the Sensyflow thermal mass meter, the new WaterMaster meter and the established AquaProbe flowmeter, which has been enhanced with several new features.
These include a three year warranty period as standard, with an added two year purchase option if required.
IWEX will also see the first public appearance of the ABB Aztec range of water analysers, including a pre-launch preview of the AW600 colour analyser and the AC2000 coagulation analyser.
Created following the acquisition of Severn Trent Water Services Aztec business last year, the ABB Aztec range gives customers an even broader range of products for water analysis applications, backed up by comprehensive service and support.
Visitors will also be able to learn how they can optimise their instrument and process performance by using the ABB world-leading portfolio of Profibus enabled devices, which provide remote access to a greater range of process data at the field level.
These will include the recently launched range of 364 series pressure transmitters, plus examples of its revamped temperature sensor and transmitter ranges.
Another world-first on the stand will be the ABB field-mountable SM500F recorder, the first ever videographic data recorder capable of being installed virtually anywhere.
A choice of mounting options means the SM500F can be easily installed onto a panel, wall or pipe without the additional expense associated with the enclosures normally required to field mount a traditional videographic recorder.
Its fully sealed IP66 and NEMA 4X enclosure also provides full protection against water and dust ingress.
"IWEX gives us an ideal opportunity to demonstrate the full extent of what we can offer for water and waste water treatment applications," says Tony Hoyle, the ABB UK Flow Product Manager: "We will be using the show to explain how our new products are opening up a wealth of exciting possibilities to help operators and major end users optimise their water management".
