Ultrasonic Flowmeter Also Measures Temperature

Endress+Hauser introduces the Proline Prosonic Flow E 100 ultrasonic flowmeter for measurement of flow, temperature and volume of process water, regardless of conductivity, pressure, density or temperature. The component is suitable for use in industrial, process, power utility, fresh water, steam circuits, and boiler feedwater systems. It can measure flow in both directions as well as water temperature, and can measure flow in water containing magnetite, often found in closed hot water systems for nuclear reactors, wet central heating systems and boilers.

 

The all-stainless-steel Prosonic Flow E 100 works in process pressures up to 363 psi, and in temperatures from 32°F to 302°F. It is available in line sizes from 2 to 6 inches for measuring flows up to 1,680 gal/min with accuracy of ±0.5% fs. Accuracy is based on accredited calibration rigs according to ISO 17025. Process outputs sent via 4 mA to 20 mA with HART include volume flow, mass flow, flow velocity, temperature and three totalized values. The HART signal also includes diagnostic outputs such as acceptance rate, sound velocity, signal strength, signal to noise ratio, turbulence and signal asymmetry. It also has a Pulse/frequency/switch output.

 

A local display has a 4-line liquid crystal display with 16 characters per line, white background lighting, and switches that turn to red in event of device errors. The format for displaying measured and status variables can be individually configured.

 

The Prosonic Flow E 100 also has a Web server interface. By using a standard Ethernet cable and a laptop, users have direct and complete access to all diagnostic, configuration, and device data on-site without the need for additional software or hardware.
