Introduction
The Endress+Hauser Proline Prowirl F 200 is a high-performance multivariable vortex flowmeter optimized for wet/saturated/superheated steam, gases, and liquids (including cryogenic fluids). With integrated temperature/pressure measurement, wet steam detection, and Heartbeat Technology, it delivers accurate, reliable flow and energy measurement for process and energy management applications.Key advantages
1. Wet Steam & Multivariable Capability: Directly measures wet/saturated/superheated steam with integrated T&P compensation, delivering ±1.5% accuracy for mass flow in compensated conditions.
2. Wide Turndown & Linear Performance: Maintains best-in-class linearity down to Re 10,000, with a broad flow range from 0.2 m³/h to 28,000 m³/h for flexible process applications.
3. Integrated Energy Management: Built-in temperature/pressure sensors enable direct energy and heat flow measurement, eliminating the need for additional external instrumentation.
4. Robust, Low-Maintenance Design: Features a drift-free capacitive sensor and dual-compartment housing; Heartbeat Technology provides continuous verification without process interruption.
5. Universal Compliance & Communication: SIL-rated with global hazardous area approvals, supporting HART, PROFIBUS PA, FOUNDATION Fieldbus, and PROFINET for seamless integration.
