Proline Promass Q 500

PDF datasheet mirror for Proline Promass Q 500 (Endress + Hauser Flow measurement). Verify with OEM before design.

Summary

Product identification

  • Product line: Proline Promass Q 500
  • Type: Coriolis flowmeter
  • Model: 8Q5B

Field of application

This device is an innovative specialist for challenging applications, including remote versions with up to 4 I/Os. It is optimized for liquids with entrained gas (MFT - Multi-Frequency Technology) and is the preferred choice for custody transfer applications. It also offers high performance for density measurement under tough process conditions.

Benefits

  • Secured measuring quality with unmatched accuracy for mass flow, volume flow, and density.
  • Optimized performance for liquids with entrained gas using Multi-Frequency Technology (MFT).
  • Reduced process measuring points due to multivariable measurement (flow, density, temperature).
  • Space-saving installation with no in-/outlet run requirements.
  • Full access to process and diagnostic information via numerous, freely combinable I/Os and Ethernet.
  • Reduced complexity and variety through freely configurable I/O functionality.
  • Integrated verification with Heartbeat Technology.
