Product Critical Technical Advantages
-
Engineering excellence in a straight single-tube design offers a full-bore flow path that ensures minimal pressure drop and prevents fluid shear. This is the ideal solution for shear-sensitive media, fluids with solids, or high-viscosity products where maintaining the physical characteristics of the fluid is critical.
-
Precision engineering for in-line viscosity measurement enables real-time monitoring of fluid consistency directly in the process pipe. This eliminates the need for bypass lines and manual sampling, providing immediate data for quality control and automated process adjustments.
-
Integration of operational intelligence through Heartbeat Technology provides continuous internal diagnostics and documented verification without process interruption. For single-tube systems, this is essential for monitoring tube integrity and detecting internal coating or build-up, ensuring long-term measurement reliability.
-
Specialized TMB® (Torsion Mode Bridge) technology allows for accurate measurement in a single-tube system. By balancing bending and torsional oscillations, the Promass I sensor maintains high stability and precision for mass flow, density, and viscosity measurement even under varying process conditions.
-
Remote transmitter versatility separates the sensor from the electronics using a standard connection cable. This maximizes installation flexibility, allowing the sensor to be placed in tight or harsh locations while the transmitter—with its up to 4 I/Os—remains in an easily accessible area for operators.
-
Full access to process and diagnostic data is provided by the Proline 500 transmitter, which supports modern Ethernet communication and integrated WLAN. This allows for wireless commissioning, maintenance, and data retrieval via a standard web browser, enhancing operational safety and efficiency.
