Endress+Hauser launches high performance magmeter

October 2006 Flow Measurement & Control

Endress+Hauser, a specialist in instrumentation, has announced the launch of its latest high performance electromagnetic flowmeter - the Proline Promag 55S. The Promag 55S is ideal for application in the mining, pulp and paper, pharmaceutical and food industries.

The fluids measured in these industries are typically inhomogeneous with high solid content, abrasive, high temperature, and chemically aggressive.

According to Romeo Rocchetti, Endress+Hauser, product manager: Flow, the Promag 55S, ensures that these fluids are all measured with a high degree of accuracy.

"Process noise in these demanding applications often interferes with the measurement. This occurs when the fluid contains a high solid content or entrained air bubbles.

"Thanks to its optimised pulsed DC technology, the Promag 55S offers excellent measurement reproducibility, accuracy and stability in the noisiest flow applications. The Promag 55S is the first magmeter to use solid content flow computation and is easy to combine with a gamma density meter."

Rocchetti notes that the extended diagnostic functionality of the Promag 55S enhances process security and reduces maintenance costs.

At the heart of the Promag 55S is a high performance transmitter, based on DSP technology that works in conjunction with its robust sensor design. It also employs an optimised magnetic field frequency to improve the signal to noise ratio.

The device offers the right combination of liner material and electrode design to meet the differing demands of the industry. For example, a natural rubber liner with brush electrodes is used for highly abrasive, rocky slurry; polyurethane liner with tungsten carbide coated electrodes is used for fine slurries; high temperature PFA lining with duplex electrodes for concentrated black liquors; and hygienic PFA liner with bow electrodes for fruit mashes.

These combinations, suited to specific applications, ensure maximum in-service meter lifetime and performance.
