Function and system design

Measuring principle The measuring principle is based on the controlled generation of Coriolis forces. These forces are always present
when both translational and rotational movements are superimposed.
FC = 2 · Δm (v · ω)
FC = Coriolis force
Δm = moving mass
ω = rotational velocity
v = radial velocity in rotating or oscillating system

The amplitude of the Coriolis force depends on the moving mass Δm, its velocity v in the system, and thus on
the mass flow. Instead of a constant angular velocity ω, the Promass sensor uses oscillation.
In the sensor, two parallel measuring tubes containing flowing fluid oscillate in antiphase, acting like a tuning
fork. The Coriolis forces produced at the measuring tubes cause a phase shift in the tube oscillations (see
illustration):
• At zero flow, in other words when the fluid is at a standstill, the two tubes oscillate in phase (1).
• Mass flow causes deceleration of the oscillation at the inlet of the tubes (2) and acceleration at the outlet (3).

A A A

B B B

1 2 3
a0003385

The phase difference (A-B) increases with increasing mass flow. Electrodynamic sensors register the tube
oscillations at the inlet and outlet.
System balance is ensured by the antiphase oscillation of the two measuring tubes. The measuring principle
operates independently of temperature, pressure, viscosity, conductivity and flow profile.
Volume measurement
The measuring tubes are continuously excited at their resonance frequency. A change in the mass and thus the
density of the oscillating system (comprising measuring tubes and fluid) results in a corresponding, automatic
adjustment in the oscillation frequency. Resonance frequency is thus a function of fluid density. The density
value obtained in this way can be used in conjunction with the measured mass flow to calculate the volume
flow.
The temperature of the measuring tubes is also determined in order to calculate the compensation factor due
to temperature effects.

Measuring system The measuring system consists of a transmitter and a sensor (compact version):
• Promass 40 transmitter
• Promass E sensor (DN 8 to 50)

Endress+Hauser 3
 Proline Promass 40E

Input
Measured variable • Mass flow (proportional to the phase difference between two sensors mounted on the measuring tube to
register a phase shift in the oscillation)
• Volume flow (calculated from mass flow and fluid density. The density is proportional to the resonance
frequency of the measuring tubes).
• Measuring tube temperature (by temperature sensors) for calculatory compensation of temperature effects.

Measuring range Measuring ranges for liquids

DN Range for full scale values (liquids) gmin(F) to gmax(F)

8 0 to 2 000 kg/h

15 0 to 6 500 kg/h

25 0 to 18000 kg/h

40 0 to 45000 kg/h

50 0 to 70000 kg/h

Measuring ranges for gases

The full scale values depend on the density of the gas. Use the formula below to calculate the full scale values:
gmax(G) = gmax(F) · ρ(G) ÷ 320 [kg/m³]

gmax(G) = max. full scale value for gas [kg/h]

gmax(F) = max. full scale value for liquid [kg/h]
ρ(G) = Gas density in [kg/m³] at operating conditions
Here, gmax(G) can never be greater than gmax(F)

Calculation example for gas:

• Sensor type: Promass E, DN 50
• Gas: air with a density of 60.3 kg/m³ (at 20 °C and 50 bar)
• Measuring range (liquid): 70000 kg/h
Max. possible full scale value:
gmax(G) = gmax(F) · ρ(G) ÷ 320 [kg/m³] = 70000 kg/h · 60.3 kg/m³ ÷ 320 kg/m³ = 13190 kg/h

Recommended full scale values

See information in the "Limiting flow" section → Page 12 ff.

Operable flow range Greater than 1000: 1. Flow rates above the preset full scale value do not overload the amplifier, i.e. the totalizer
values are registered correctly.

Input signal Status input (auxiliary input):

U = 3 to 30 V DC, Ri = 5 kΩ, galvanically isolated.
Configurable for: totalizer reset, positive zero return, error message reset, zero point adjustment start, batching
start/stop (optional).

Influence of fluid temperature When there is a difference between the temperature for zero point adjustment and the process temperature,
the typical measured error of the Promass sensor is ±0.0003% of the full scale value / °C.

Influence of fluid pressure With nominal diameters DN 8 to 40, the effect on accuracy of mass flow due to a difference
between calibration pressure and process pressure can be neglected.
With DN 50 the influence is –0.009% o.r. / bar (o.r. = of reading)

Operating conditions: Installation

Installation instructions Note the following points:
• No special measures such as supports are necessary. External forces are absorbed by the construction of the
instrument, for example the secondary containment.
• The high oscillation frequency of the measuring tubes ensures that the correct operation of the measuring
system is not influenced by pipe vibrations.
• No special precautions need to be taken for fittings which create turbulence (valves, elbows, T-pieces etc.),
as long as no cavitation occurs.

Mounting location
Entrained air or gas bubbles in the measuring tube can result in an increase in measuring errors.
Therefore, avoid the following mounting locations in the pipe installation:
• Highest point of a pipeline. Risk of air accumulating.
• Directly upstream of a free pipe outlet in a vertical pipeline.

a0003605

Mounting location

Notwithstanding the above, the installation proposal below permits installation in an open vertical pipeline.
Pipe restrictions or the use of an orifice with a smaller cross-section than the nominal diameter prevent the
sensor running empty while measurement is in progress.

Orientation
Make sure that the direction of the arrow on the nameplate of the sensor matches the direction of flow
(direction of fluid flow through the pipe).

Vertical (view V)
Recommended orientation with upward direction of flow. When fluid is not flowing, entrained solids will sink
down and gases will rise away from the measuring tube. Thus the measuring tubes can be completely drained
and protected against solids buildup.

Horizontal (view H1 to H3)

The transmitter can be installed in any orientation in a horizontal pipe run.

Special installation instructions

" Caution!
When using a bent measuring tube and horizontal installation, the position of the sensor has to be matched to
the fluid properties!

Horizontal installation for sensors with a bent measuring tube

1 Not suitable for fluids with entrained solids. Risk of solids accumulating.
2 Not suitable for outgassing fluids. Risk of air accumulating.

Zero point adjustment

All Promass devices are calibrated to state-of-the-art technology. The zero point determined in this way is
imprinted on the nameplate.
Calibration takes place under reference conditions. → Page 6 ff.
Promass therefore does not require zero point adjustment!
Experience shows that the zero point adjustment is advisable only in special cases:
• To achieve highest measuring accuracy also with very low flow rates
• Under extreme process or operating conditions (e.g. very high process temperatures or very high-viscosity
fluids).
Please note the following before carrying out the adjustment:
• The adjustment can only be performed with fluids that have no gas or solid contents.
• Zero point adjustment is performed with the measuring tubes completely filled and at zero flow
(v = 0 m/s). This can be achieved, for example, with shutoff valves upstream and/or downstream of the
sensor or by using existing valves and gates.
– Normal operation → valves 1 and 2 open
– Zero point adjustment with pump pressure → valve 1 open / valve 2 closed
– Zero point adjustment without pump pressure → valve 1 closed / valve 2 open

Heating
Some fluids require suitable measures to avoid heat transfer at the sensor. Heating can be electric, e.g. with
heated elements, or by means of hot water or steam pipes made of copper.

" Caution!
• If using an electric trace heating system whose heating is regulated via phase angle control or pulse packages,
influence on the measured values cannot be ruled out due to magnetic fields (i.e. for values that are greater
than the values approved by the EN standard (sine 30 A/m)). In such cases, the sensor must be magnetically
shielded.
The secondary containment can be shielded with tin plates or electric sheets without preferential direction
(e.g. V330-35A) with the following properties:
– Relative magnetic permeability μr ≥ 300
– Plate thickness d ≥ 0.35 mm
• Information on permitted temperature ranges → Page 12
Special heating jackets, which can be ordered separately from Endress+Hauser as an accessory, are available
for the sensors.

Inlet and outlet runs There are no installation requirements regarding inlet and outlet runs.

Length of connecting cable Max. 20 meters (remote version)

System pressure It is important to ensure that cavitation does not occur, because it would influence the oscillation of the
measuring tube. No special measures need to be taken for fluids which have properties similar to water under
normal conditions.
In the case of liquids with a low boiling point (hydrocarbons, solvents, liquefied gases) or in suction lines, it is
important to ensure that pressure does not drop below the vapor pressure and that the liquid does not start to
boil. It is also important to ensure that the gases that occur naturally in many liquids do not outgas. Such effects
can be prevented when system pressure is sufficiently high.
Therefore, the following locations should be preferred for installation:
• Downstream from pumps (no danger of vacuum)
• At the lowest point in a vertical pipe

as a reference value for the pressure loading capacity.
For increased safety, a version with rupture disk (triggering pressure 10 to 15 bar) can be used, which is
available for order as a separate option.
Further informationen → Page 21 ff.

Limiting flow See information in the "Measuring range" section → Page 4

Select nominal diameter by optimizing between required flow range and permissible pressure loss. See the
"Measuring range" section for a list of maximum possible full scale values.
• The minimum recommended full scale value is approx. 1/20 of the max. full scale value.
• In most applications, 20 to 50% of the maximum full scale value can be considered ideal
• Select a lower full scale value for abrasive substances such as fluids with entrained solids (flow velocity
<1 m/s).
• For gas measurement the following rules apply:
– Flow velocity in the measuring tubes should not be more than half the sonic velocity (0.5 Mach).
– The maximum mass flow depends on the density of the gas: formula → Page 4

Pressure loss Pressure loss depends on the fluid properties and on the flow rate. The following formulae can be used to
approximately calculate the pressure loss:

2·g
Reynolds number Re =
p·d·n·r
a0004623

Dp = K · n ·r
0.25 1.85 –0.86
Re ≥ 23001) ·g
a0004626

K2 · n · g
0.25 2

Re < 2300 Dp = K1 · n · g +
r
a0004628

Δp = pressure loss [mbar] ρ = fluid density [kg/m3]

ν = kinematic viscosity [m2/s] d = inside diameter of measuring tubes [m]
g = mass flow [kg/s] K to K2 = constants (depending on nominal diameter)
1)
To compute the pressure loss for gases, always use the formula for Re ≥ 2300.

Sensor housings with integrated rupture disks are optionally available. Make sure that the function and
operation of the rupture disk is not impeded through the installation. Take adequate precautions to ensure that
no damage occurs, and risk to human life is ruled out, if the rupture disk is triggered.
The position of the rupture disk is indicated by an adhesive label on top of the disk. If the rupture disk is
triggered, the adhesive label is damaged and can thus be visually monitored.

The Clamp connections (e.g. Tri-Clamp ISO2852, DIN32676) are suited up to a maximum pressure of 16 bar.
As these operating limits also depend on the clamp and the seal used, their specifications have to be observed.
The clamp and the seal are not included in the scope of supply.
