Bidirectional thermal mass flowmeter offers reverse flow detection

Endress+Hauser Canada has introduced the Proline t-mass F/I 300/500 flowmeter series that is said to provide additional benefits like bidirectional measurement and reverse flow detection. The flowmeters are used in a wide range of process industries for pure gases and gas mixtures like measuring flare stack and flue gases in HVAC, for utilities in monitoring air, oxygen, nitrogen or argon or in the food and beverage industry for consumption of natural gas or for carbon dioxide measurement.

The measuring system comes with a Gas Engine as standard that offers 22 gases to choose from and corresponding gas mixtures with up to eight components.

The units comprise an in-line version for pipes DN 15 to 100 and an insertion version for pipes and ducts DN 80 to 1500. Both provide dynamic correction for changes in pressure, temperature and gas composition, and the possibility to change programmed gases without recalibration.

The Endress+Hauser Canada thermal flowmeters offer measuring accuracy of ±1.0%, repeatability of ±0.25% and turndown up to 1000:1.

They are suitable for temperature measurement up to 180°C and pressures up to 40 bar. SIL compliance and high operational safety are assured, the latter with Heartbeat Technology for diagnostics, monitoring and device verification without process interruption.
