maximizes process safety and allows
updating of the instruments. In addition
to pressure values, temperature
data or error status can also be transmitted.

Four-tube technology for
measurement of high flows
Promass Q (photo) is a Coriolis flowmeter
line that alleviates concerns of
inaccuracies with its four-tube technology.
It is available for larger pipes
than ever before - up to 10 in. (DN
250) - for measuring flowrates up
to 18,900 barrels per hour (2,400
ton/h). And the new four-tube technology
opens the door to additional
applications in the oil-and-gas industry.
These include high-precision
metering for custody transfer, fiscal
metering, master metering as a reference
device for on-site verification,
and more. In addition to mass and
volumetric flow, Promass Q also records
process density and temperature.
This enables the incorporation
of fluctuating process and ambient
conditions into flow measurement,
with appropriate compensation,
helping to achieve tight error bands of
±0.05% for mass flow and ±0.2 kg/
m³ for density. - Endress+Hauser,

A flow sensor with
plain text display
The FS101 flow sensor (photo) is
the latest member of this company's
FS+ fluid sensor family. The new FS+
devices have the same look and
feel and are therefore just as easy
to run and commission as all other
sensors in the family. The four-digit,
12-segment display on the devices
shows the current flow value clearly
as a percentage of the setpoint. The
implemented IO-Link smart sensor
profile simplifies the conversion
of the IO-Link flow sensors of other
manufacturers to FS+ devices, since
process data, parameters and functions
are standardized. The sensors
can be used, for example, to monitor
flows in coolant circuits or for
dry-run protection in pumps. The
FS101 retains the two unique Quick
Teach and Delta Flow functions that
already simplified commissioning in
the FS100 with a bar-graph display.

Intelligent flow converter for
safety applications
The new IFC 400 electromagnetic
flow converter (photo) combines with
this company's Optiflux 4000 to create
the Optiflux 4400 electromagnetic
flowmeter. The IFC 400 helps detect
external influences, such as excessive
vibration, temperature extremes and
magnetic field effects, and also detects
process influences like chemicals
and excessive sedimentation in the
liquid. To detect these influences, the
IFC 400 has a self-diagnostic function
covering three aspects: process conditions,
device functioning and outof-specification
testing. The process
measurement check detects leakages,
contamination, liner deformation
and air entrainment in the process
liquid. The device function self-check
continuously monitors electronics and
sensor hardware. Out-of-specification
testing detects any sudden unexplained
flow changes, linearity issues
and uncertain measurements. -

High-pressure gas flowmeter
for natural gas distribution
The Flowsic550 ultrasonic gas flowmeter
(photo) expands this company's
portfolio, offering a suitable
solution for small nominal diameters
and compact installations in the highpressure
range.

is
especially
natural-gas-distribution
sites and transmission systems. With
the use of ultrasound technology and
the absence of mechanical components,
the Flowsic550 is said to offer
clear cost advantages over conventional
turbine and rotary-displacement
meters. When utilized in transfer
and measuring stations, Flowsic550
ensures a continuous and blockagefree
gas supply. The device handles
an operating pressure up to 1,480
psi. It is a multi-path meter with integrated
flow conditioning, suitable for
compact meter stations. It is not only
easy to install, but is also compatible
with turbine gas meters. Therefore,
it can easily be integrated into most
existing compact measuring installations.
