Process monitoring is becoming more demand-
ing and the need for maximum product quality
is steadily increasing. This is why Endress+Hauser
South Africa continues to provide industry-specific
flow measurement solutions optimised for future
technology requirements. The com-
pany’s new generation
of Proline flowmeters
is based on a uniform
device concept. This
means time and cost
savings, as well as max-
imum safety over the
entire plant life cycle.
In the chemical pro-
cess industry, Coriolis
flowmeters have been
used for decades with great success.
This is in no way astonishing, be-
cause this measurement technology has unique
advantages in comparison to other methods:
• Independent of physical fluid properties such as
conductivity, pressure, temperature, density or viscosity
• One-of-a-kind multi-functionality – simultaneous measurement of
mass flow, volume flow, density and temperature
• Maintenance-free devices without moving parts
• No inlet and outlet runs required
• Operable flow range of up to 1 000:1
• Insensitive to external process influences such as pipe vibrations
• High field accuracy, even with greatly fluctuating process and
ambient conditions.
Proline is a proven and uniform product concept, designed to do
the same things the same way, thereby increasing the safety and
efficiency of your operations. The Human Machine Interface (HMI)
and subsequent device set-up and programming are extremely user-
friendly. This ensures that the process can be securely controlled with
confidence and can be integrated seamlessly into the plant asset
management, providing reliable information for optimising production
and business processes. The Promass 200 has been developed for
SIL2/3 applications and has internationally recognised Ex approval,
including the local South African requirements.
Round-the-clock operational safety and plant availability are
particularly important in the chemical and petrochemical industries.
The Promass 200 consistently ensures this higher safety and thereby
enables lower operating costs. In addition, plants have to be oper-
ated as cost-effectively as possible over the years so as to attain
high performance and availability. The complexity involved, whether
in the process or in utilities, can only be managed by uniform and
standardised field instrumentation. Promass 200 is the perfect solu-
tion for exactly such areas of application.
As a true two-wire device, the Promass 200 can be integrated into
existing plant systems to provide the following:
• High operational safety in Ex areas due to the intrinsically safe
design (Ex ia)
• Reduce cost for installation and wiring
• Seamless system integration and wiring.
• Common installation practice.
