The new hygienic Promass S Coriolis flowmeter
At the forefront in hygienic design, the new Endress+Hauser Promass S Coriolis mass flowmeter meets all possible hygienic requirements for use in the food and beverage industry
Its evaluations take in evidence of compliance with standards and specifications, use of technology and instrument-associated cost savings.
Partner organisations include EI (Evaluation International) in the UK and EXERA in France.
WIB wanted to determine whether guided radar technology would offer a robust, simple replacement for conventional level measurement technologies such as positive displacement and float devices often used in stilling wells, next to columns, vessels and tanks.
The tests were carried out by an independent expert and a participant from the WIB level team.
The WIB 'Evaluation of Radar Level Transmitters in Side Gauges' report praised Levelflex M for its ease-of-use and high accuracy.
With all test fluids (water at 15C, water at 70C, pentane and transformer oil), the accuracy measurements were within the published specification and no corrections or adjustments were needed.
Other competencies highlighted include repeatability, linearity and hysteresis.
Endress+Hauser was the only manufacturer to complete the entire test programme using a single rod device - a fact that offers decisive advantages.
Contamination and deposits are less likely to cause a problem using a single rod when compared with a double rod or coaxial system.
What's more, during the hydrocarbon tests the patented 'end-of-probe' algorithm proved ideal.
The Endress+Hauser Levelflex M offers a host of benefits including quick and easy installation due to factory configuration, menu-guided display, and reliable measurement of bulk materials and liquids, even with turbulent surfaces and foam.
Additionally, the instrument is virtually unaffected by baffles within vessels resulting in smooth operation. Request a free brochure from Endress + Hauser ...
