Flow Measurement & Control


Proline Prosonic Flow 92F

February 2011 Flow Measurement & Control

Endress+Hauser expands size and temperature range of ultrasonic flowmeter.

Endress+Hauser has added additional sizes and temperature range to the successful loop-powered Prosonic Flow 92F inline ultrasonic flowmeter. The meter is now available in additional sizes of DN 150, DN 200, DN 250 and DN 300 in stainless steel or carbon steel, covering the entire size range from DN 25 to 300. The additional size capabilities allow greater flexibility for process applications.

Broad application range applicable

Whenever liquids, even with a low electrical conductivity, have to be measured under difficult installation conditions, the Prosonic Flow 92F is an ideal choice. This ultrasonic flowmeter can be used across a broad range of industries and applications:

* High purity or demineralised water.

* Steam condensate return.

* Hydrocarbon liquids, eg, fuel or heating oils.

* Tank farm management.

* Road tanker filling control.

* Leak detection.

* Energy monitoring.

High performance

The high temperature option extends the temperature range from 150 to 200°C allowing the flowmeter to be used in more demanding applications and steam-cleaned up to 10 bar. The Prosonic Flow 92F is a multibeam sensor consisting of a meter body, flanged process connections and 2, 3 or 4 pairs of ultrasonic sensor elements. The sensor pairs are located in two arrays welded into the sensor body removing the requirement for additional process gaskets.

The configuration of the ultrasonic sensors ensures an optimal scanning of the flow velocity distribution in the measuring section. This configuration therefore also reduces the requirement for upstream straight pipe to less than five times the pipe diameter. The Prosonic Flow 92F offers a high accuracy (better than ±0,5%; optional ±0,3%) for cost effective non-invasive flow measurement. The measurement requires no mechanical interaction with the flow, making it virtually maintenance free and without additional pressure drop.

Seamless system integration

The Prosonic Flow 92F is the world’s first 2-wire loop powered transmitter for an inline ultrasonic flowmeter. It is available in four output versions:

* 4-20 mA HART.

* 4-20 mA HART with status/pulse output.

* Profibus PA.

* Foundation Fieldbus.

The system integration is supported through DTM and FDT technology, with the transmitter requiring virtually no programming during initial setup. Only the flow range has to be defined. A HistoROM TDAT offers software independent data management where the transmitter setup and the sensor calibration data can be stored as a backup.
