Product Details
What it is
The Proline Promass F 500 is a high-precision Coriolis mass flowmeter / mass flow + density + temperature measuring device. It is part
of Endress+Hauser’s Promass F family. It is designed for demanding
industrial environments, where high accuracy, robustness, and
flexibility are required.
How it works (principle)
- It uses the Coriolis effect: fluid flows through vibrating measuring tubes. When mass flows
through, the tubes experience inertial forces which cause a phase
shift between inlet and outlet vibration paths. This phase
difference is proportional to the mass flow rate.
- Also measures density (because the frequency or resonance depends
on fluid density), and temperature. From those, additional derived
quantities can be calculated (volume flow, corrected volumes,
concentration, etc.)
- The measurement is largely independent of fluid properties like
viscosity, density changes, flow profile etc., so it is stable over
a wide range of operating conditions.
Key specifications & capabilities
Here are the main numbers & features that define what the
Promass F 500 can do:
Feature | Specification / Range |
Nominal diameter | DN 8 to DN 250 (≈ 3/8″ to 10″) |
Mass flow rate range | Up to ~2,200,000 kg/h |
Temperature range | Standard: –50 to +150 °C; options extend up to +350 °C; even
cryogenic options (down to ~ –196 °C) for special versions. |
Process pressure | Up to ~ PN100 (or Class 600, etc., depending on connection and
size) |
Accuracy | For liquids (mass flow): typically ±0.10 % (standard); with
“PremiumCal” option ±0.05 %. For gases somewhat less precise (≈
±0.25 %). Density accuracy around ±0.0005 g/cm³ for liquids. |
Outputs / I/O | Remote version, up to 4 I/Os (configurable). Multiple communication
protocols/field-buses possible. |
Display / interfaces | Backlit display, touch control, WLAN access optionally; remote
sensor-to-transmitter cabling. |
Wetted materials | Various: stainless steels (316L), 904L, Alloy C22 etc. Options for
more corrosion-resistant materials depending on fluid. |
Notable features
- Remote transmitter design: The sensor portion (with vibrating tubes) can be physically
separated from the transmitter/electronics. This helps in very
hot/harsh zones, allows flexibility in mounting, reduces exposure
of electronics.
- Heartbeat Technology: For verification/self-diagnostics. Helps in process safety, in
verifying the meter in place without needing removal or shutdown in
many cases.
- Multivariable measurement: Mass flow, density, temperature, plus derived values (volume
flow, concentration etc.). Reduces number of instruments/points
needed.
- Environmental / robustness: Resistant to fluctuating and harsh operating conditions.
Engineering to cope with temperature extremes, pressure, corrosion
etc.
Applications
Given its capabilities, the Promass F 500 is suitable for:
- Chemical, petrochemical, oil & gas plants (liquids and gases,
even aggressive or corrosive fluids)
- Cryogenic services (if using low-temperature options)
- Food, beverage, pharmaceutical industries (if using hygienic
connections/materials)
- Custody transfer where mass flow accuracy is critical
- Any process where one wants combined flow + density measurement, or
where conditions vary (temperature, pressure, viscosity)
- Situations where minimizing maintenance and calibration downtime is
important (because of the diagnostics & verification features)
- Harsh or remote installations where separating the electronics from
the sensor is beneficial
