Product Critical Technical Advantages
-
Patented Four-Tube System: The unique four-tube architecture allows for the highest capacity flow rates in the industry while maintaining a very low pressure drop. This design ensures premium accuracy of 0.05% even during large-scale transfers, significantly increasing profit by reducing measurement uncertainty in high-volume custody transfer.
-
Remote Installation for Demanding Environments: With the transmitter located up to 300 meters from the sensor, operators can manage large-scale flow measurements from a safe distance. This is particularly beneficial for offshore platforms and large-scale pipeline stations where the sensor is integrated into heavy piping modules.
-
Superior Material and Exterior Design: To withstand the harsh, corrosive environments of offshore platforms, the entire exterior of the sensor is constructed from 1.4435 (316L) stainless steel. This ensures long-term mechanical integrity against salt spray and extreme weather conditions.
-
Heartbeat Technology for Compliant Verification: Integrated Heartbeat Technology provides continuous self-diagnostics and documented verification without interrupting the flow. This allows for reliable measurement performance and simplified compliance for fiscal and regulatory audits, which is critical for high-capacity transfer points.
-
Advanced Connectivity and I/O Performance: The Proline 500 transmitter supports up to 4 freely combinable I/Os and high-speed industrial Ethernet protocols. The integrated WLAN and web server allow technicians to perform configuration and diagnostics wirelessly, avoiding the need for specialized hardware in the field.
-
Space-Saving Multivariable Measurement: A single Promass X 500 installation point captures mass flow, density, and temperature. Because it requires no straight inlet or outlet piping runs, it can be integrated into high-capacity pipeline skids where space for long pipe runs is unavailable.
