Introduction
The Endress+Hauser Proline t-mass F 500 is a remote version inline thermal mass flowmeter designed for utility and process gas measurement in small line sizes (DN15 to DN100). Featuring a patented drift-free sensor with SIL 2 rating, it offers long-term stability and bidirectional measurement. Its remote transmitter design with up to 4 I/Os maximizes installation flexibility in demanding environments, while flexible gas programming and Heartbeat Technology ensure reliable, compliant operation.
Key advantages
1. Remote Transmitter Flexibility: With a separate sensor-transmitter design and standard cable connection, it offers unmatched installation flexibility for confined or harsh industrial environments.
2. Enhanced I/O Capability: Supports up to 4 configurable I/Os, providing more connectivity options for complex process integration and data communication needs.
3. Highly Versatile Gas Compatibility: Programmable for 21 standard gases or custom mixtures, adapting to various utility and process gas measurement requirements.
4. Rugged & Safe Operation: Patented drift-free SIL 2 sensor delivers premium accuracy, while IP66/67 protection (IP68 optional) ensures reliable performance in tough conditions.
5 Advanced Diagnostics & Verification: Equipped with Heartbeat Technology, it enables continuous self-monitoring, integrated verification, and compliance with traceability standards.
