In efforts to improve process and product quality in all areas of manufacturing industry, accurate mass flow
measurement is essential. Unlike volume flow, mass measurement is an 'absolute', as it is unaffected by changes in
temperature and pressure, providing consistently reliable flow measurement. The result is better control, improved
yield and better product quality – the basis of your success.

Promass Coriolis Flowmeters

Endress+Hauser recognises the need for quality and efficiency throughout your production processes – particularly in
the current economic climate. As such, it has invested in the world’s most accurate production calibration rig to
ensure that all the Promass Coriolis flowmeters that leave its production facility offer repeatable precision
measurement, guaranteed.

Endress+Hauser Flowtec in Reinach, Switzerland, is home to the world’s most accurate production calibration rig,
developed in close cooperation with M ETAS (Swiss Federal Office of M etrology). The accredited measuring
uncertainty of just ±0.015% allows seamless verific ation of a traceable accuracy of±0.05% in the process instrument -
true of all nominal diameters up to 10" (DN 250)! It sets new standards, particularly in the calibration of high-precision
Promass Coriolis mass flowmeters, which are increasingly demanded by the life science industries. High accuracy also
helps to ensure the minimum concentration of effective ingredients in liquid dosage forms.

Temperature, Concentration, Viscosity Measurement

Even in the production stage, the measuring instruments must show what they are capable of - for quality is achieved
through robust and sophisticated production and quality assurance processes, followed by documented testing.
Before an instrument leaves the Endress+Hauser premises, it is tested, calibrated and adjusted on accredited
calibration rigs to offer optimum performance, particularly important for custody transfer applications.

Accuracy and reliability: the prowess of Promass

The calibrated measuring accuracy of the Endress+Hauser Promass flowmeter is guaranteed under process conditions.
The clever construction makes Promass exceptionally resistant to changes in process temperature and pressure and,
with high vibration immunity, it will perform irrespective of fluid properties and installation conditions. Better still,
Promass not only measures mass and volume flow, but also provides density, temperature, concentration and viscosity
measurement offering amazing value for money!

Accurate and reliable, Promass delivers maximum performance, even in the most demanding applications. For example,
Promass can handle very low flow (down to 100g/hr) without loss of measurement integrity. Indeed, the resilience of
Promass is highlighted by the fact that most of the calibrated instruments have not required calibration adjustment
for several years - and no change means no expensive documentation! The high long-term stability gives real peace of
mind, ensuring high quality and minimising batches outside the specification.
