ultrasonic flow measuring system

Endress+hauser Prosonic Flow P500 Press Release Image

Endress+Hauser’s Prosonic Flow P 500 measuring system, with its FlowDC function, requires only minimal straight inlet runs, and it can be installed directly onto the exterior of the pipe, so there is no need to interrupt operations. Planners and operators of process plants can stay flexible and install the Prosonic Flow P 500 in just about any location, independent of the pipeline design. This non-intrusive measuring method, with sensors mounted directly on the pipe exterior, enables safe measurement of corrosive, abrasive and toxic fluids regardless of their properties, such as conductivity and pressure. The Prosonic Flow P 500 provides measurement for a wide variety of fluids, such as chemicals, liquid hydrocarbons, solvents, acids, bases, water and many others. Along with the extensive functionality of the Proline 500 transmitter, this opens up a wide range of applications, such as quantity and volume measurement, totalizing and balancing, process monitoring, verification of previously installed flowmeters, detection of leaks between two measuring points in a large pipeline, and more.

analyzer flow switch/monitor

Process control system designers and plant engineers in search of a compact flow switch/monitor that can be easily incorporated into gas and liquid process analyzer sampling systems will find that the Model FS10A Analyzer Flow Switch/Monitor from Fluid Components International (FCI) features a convenient SP76 adapter that supports and/or integrates easily with NeSSI standard compliant hardware. FCI’s SP76 adapter for NeSSI modular manifolds allows the FS10A to be installed into a standardized mechanical platform for analyzers and sensors. The NeSSI (New Sampling/Sensor Initiative) has been evolving for two decades-plus as an industry-driven effort to define and promote analyzer and sensor standardization. The FS10A Analyzer Flow Switch/Monitor is a small, lightweight instrument featuring superior low flow sensitivity, a choice of electronic outputs and a no-moving parts design that ensures maximum reliability. The FS10A’s advanced electronics and thermal dispersion flow sensing technology provide a superior overall solution to sampling system flow assurance.
