Product Critical Technical Advantages
-
Engineering excellence in a straight single-tube design ensures a full-bore flow path that minimizes pressure loss and prevents fluid shear. This is critical for sensitive media or high-viscosity fluids where maintaining the physical integrity of the product is as important as the measurement itself.
-
Precision engineering for in-line viscosity measurement allows for the continuous monitoring of fluid consistency without the need for bypass lines or laboratory sampling. This optional output provides immediate feedback for process adjustments, ensuring product quality remains consistent throughout the production cycle.
-
Integration of operational intelligence through Heartbeat Technology enables continuous internal diagnostics and documented verification of the sensor’s health. For single-tube systems, this provides essential monitoring of tube wall integrity and detection of internal build-up, ensuring long-term reliability without process interruption.
-
Specialized Titanium construction utilizes Titanium Grade 9 for the measuring tube, offering excellent chemical resistance and high mechanical strength. This material choice, combined with the straight-tube geometry, makes the sensor exceptionally easy to clean and drain, meeting the needs of both industrial and hygienic processes.
-
Space-saving transmitter integration delivers the full digital capability of the Proline platform in an ultra-compact housing. This design, which requires no straight inlet or outlet piping runs, allows the I 100 to be integrated into tightly packed modular rigs or robotic systems where space is a critical constraint.
-
Time-saving local operation via the integrated web server enables rapid commissioning and maintenance without additional software or specialized hardware. Operators can securely connect to the device via a standard web browser to access comprehensive process and diagnostic data.
