Product Critical Technical Advantages
-
Engineering excellence in remote versatility separates the sensor from the transmitter using a standard connection cable. This allows the transmitter to be mounted up to 300 meters away from the measurement point, protecting the electronics from extreme process temperatures or high-vibration areas while providing maintenance teams with an easy-to-access interface.
-
Precision engineering for extreme temperature ranges enables the Promass F 500 to operate reliably from cryogenic conditions at -196 °C (-320 °F) up to high-heat processes at 350 °C (662 °F). This vast thermal envelope makes it one of the most versatile sensors in the world for everything from LNG to hot oil applications.
-
Integration of operational intelligence through Heartbeat Technology provides a permanent internal health check of the measuring tubes and electronics. This diagnostic power ensures documented measurement reliability and allows plant operators to safely extend recalibration cycles based on real-time device health, maximizing plant uptime.
-
Highest measurement performance under pressure and fluctuation is achieved through a robust dual-tube sensor design. With a measurement error of just ±0.05% (PremiumCal), the F 500 provides the precision required for fiscal-grade custody transfer and high-value blending, even when process density or viscosity varies.
-
Full access to process and diagnostic data is enabled by the Proline 500 transmitter, which supports up to 4 freely combinable I/Os and modern Ethernet protocols. With integrated WLAN and a built-in web server, commissioning and troubleshooting can be performed wirelessly using a standard laptop or tablet.
-
Reduced installation complexity through multivariable measurement allows a single device to capture mass flow, volume flow, density, and temperature simultaneously. Because the Coriolis principle is independent of the flow profile, the sensor requires no straight inlet or outlet pipe runs, saving significant space in complex piping layouts.
