Emerson Micro Motion 5700 Coriolis Flow Transmitter
Overview
The Emerson Micro Motion 5700 is a field-mount Coriolis flow transmitter engineered for applications demanding advanced diagnostics, detailed measurement history, and rigorous functional safety compliance. Built on Micro Motion’s MVD (Multi-Variable Digital) technology, the 5700 delivers high-accuracy mass flow and density measurement with faster processing speed than earlier transmitter generations, making it well suited to demanding applications such as meter proving, filling and dosing, and batch control where response time directly affects process performance and product quality.
For oil and gas, chemical processing, and custody transfer applications across Oman and the wider GCC, the Micro Motion 5700 combines industry-leading Coriolis measurement accuracy with an embedded historian and real-time multi-phase flow detection that give operators unprecedented visibility into process events. Seven Star LLC supplies the Emerson Micro Motion 5700 Coriolis flow transmitter to customers across Muscat, Sohar, Salalah, and the Sultanate of Oman as a trusted supplier of Emerson products, providing instruments with manufacturer documentation and technical support.
Measurement and Operating Principle
Paired with a Micro Motion Coriolis sensor, the 5700 transmitter processes the sensor’s vibrating tube signals to derive true mass flow rate, density, and temperature directly, without relying on assumptions about fluid composition that affect volumetric-only flow technologies. The transmitter’s high-accuracy density measurement helps reduce or eliminate product giveaway and waste in blending, batching, and custody transfer applications where even small measurement errors translate directly into commercial losses over time.
The embedded data historian feature continuously records process upsets and measurement deviations, giving plant engineers a detailed record for troubleshooting and process optimization without requiring a separate data acquisition system. Smart Meter Verification allows technicians to check the performance and mechanical integrity of the connected Coriolis sensor without interrupting flow or requiring secondary reference standards, while the Professional variant adds non-uniform coating detection, installation verification, optimal flow range detection, and two-phase flow detection for even deeper diagnostic insight.
Engineering Design of the Emerson Micro Motion 5700
The 5700 is available in integral or remote-mount configurations (4-wire and 9-wire), housed in a polyurethane-painted aluminum enclosure suited to demanding industrial environments, and features a graphical backlit display with 4-button optical controls for local configuration and diagnostics without opening the housing. The transmitter is offered in a configurable I/O version with five channels – supporting up to three 4…20 mA outputs, two frequency outputs, three discrete outputs, two discrete inputs, mA/frequency inputs, and Modbus/RS-485 communication – or an Ethernet version with EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, or PROFINET connectivity plus one configurable I/O channel.
Universal power input from 18–100 VDC or 85–240 VAC self-switching supply simplifies specification across varied electrical infrastructure. For safety-instrumented system applications, the Config I/O and Intrinsically Safe versions of the 5700 are certified for SIL2 single-use and SIL3 multiple-use safety applications per IEC 61508, making the platform suitable for critical measurement points in oil, gas, and chemical processing facilities where functional safety documentation is a project requirement.

Industrial Applications
The Micro Motion 5700 is widely deployed in custody transfer metering, meter proving, chemical batching and blending, and oil and gas production and processing applications where accurate mass flow and density measurement directly affect commercial outcomes and process quality. Its real-time multi-phase flow detection and Smart Meter Verification diagnostics make it particularly valuable in upstream and midstream applications where entrained gas or two-phase flow conditions can otherwise compromise measurement confidence.
Across Oman’s oil, gas, and chemical processing sectors, including facilities supporting the Sohar and Salalah industrial and export zones, the 5700 gives operators a proven, safety-certified Coriolis measurement platform for both routine process flow and safety-critical custody transfer points. As a trusted supplier of Emerson products, Seven Star LLC supports these projects throughout the Sultanate of Oman with transmitters supplied on request, sensor pairing guidance, and technical support.

Diagnostics, Historian and Verification Detail
The diagnostic package is the principal reason engineering teams select the Emerson Micro Motion 5700 over a basic Coriolis transmitter. Smart Meter Verification completes a full assessment of the connected sensor in under 90 seconds, determining whether erosion, corrosion, or coating has shifted the meter away from its factory calibration — without pulling the meter, interrupting production, or arranging a reference standard. The Professional tier extends this with non-uniform coating detection, installation verification, optimal flow range detection, and two-phase flow detection. One practical constraint worth noting at design stage is that Smart Meter Verification is supported only where the sensor-to-transmitter cable run is 60 ft (18 m) or less.
The embedded historian writes to non-volatile memory and holds an audit trail, an alert log, a long-term record of five-minute minimum, maximum, average, and standard-deviation values covering ten years, and a short-term record of one-second data covering thirty days. For a custody transfer point or a disputed batch, that one-second window is frequently enough to reconstruct exactly what happened during an upset without any external data acquisition system.
Installation and Environmental Data
The 5700 enclosure is available in polyurethane-painted cast aluminium or 316 stainless steel, rated IP66/IP67 and NEMA 4X, and it operates across an ambient range of −40 °C to +65 °C (−40 °F to 149 °F) with storage permitted to +85 °C. Power consumption is modest at 6 W typical and 11 W maximum on either supply type. Micro Motion cable supports 4-wire and 9-wire remote runs to 1,000 ft (305 m), with RS-485 similarly rated to 305 m on 22 AWG or larger. Painted aluminium units weigh roughly 11 lb (5 kg) integrally mounted and 16 lb (7.3 kg) in remote form, while stainless steel remote versions run 34 lb (15.4 kg) without bracket. Output linearity is 0.015 % of a 16 mA span on the configurable I/O board and 0.020 % on intrinsically safe outputs, with frequency output linear with flow to 12.5 kHz. Hazardous-area certification is available under CSA, ATEX, IECEx, and EAC for both Division 1/Zone 1 and Division 2/Zone 2 installations, and the local display supports English alongside German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, and Japanese.
