Coriolis Principle: Unaffected by Fluid Properties

At the core of the Promass H 300’s exceptional performance is the highly reliable Coriolis measuring principle. This advanced technology offers a significant advantage by operating independently of the fluid’s physical properties, such as viscosity, density, or flow profile. This fundamental characteristic means the Promass H 300 consistently delivers accurate mass flow, density, and temperature measurements for both liquids and gases, regardless of variations in the media’s inherent properties. This independence is particularly critical when dealing with corrosive chemicals, whose properties can fluctuate due to temperature, concentration, or pressure changes. The Coriolis principle ensures that the device maintains its high accuracy without requiring complex compensation algorithms, thus simplifying installation, reducing potential error sources, and enhancing overall process reliability. Whether measuring the flow of aggressive acids, volatile solvents, or specialty chemicals, the Promass H 300 provides precise and trustworthy data, making it an invaluable tool for critical applications where exact measurements are paramount for product quality, process control, and operational safety.

Device Properties: Resilient and Compact Powerhouse

The Endress+Hauser Promass H 300 is meticulously designed with device properties that ensure maximum resilience and operational efficiency, particularly in the face of highly corrosive media. Its measuring tube and process connections are fabricated from premium, corrosion-resistant materials such as Tantalum and Zirconium, renowned for their exceptional chemical inertness. This ensures longevity and reliability even when exposed to aggressive acids, alkalis, and oxidizing agents. The nominal diameter range spans from DN 8 to 50 (3/8 to 2 inches), offering flexibility for a variety of installation sizes and flow rates. The device can reliably operate with medium temperatures reaching up to +205 °C (+401 °F) when utilizing Zirconium, and up to +150 °C (+302 °F) with Tantalum, covering a broad spectrum of process thermal conditions. Complementing the robust sensor is an ultra-compact, dual-compartment transmitter housing. This design not only provides superior protection for sensitive electronics against harsh environmental factors like corrosive vapors but also offers convenient access for wiring and maintenance. The housing achieves a high degree of ingress protection, typically rated at IP66/67 and optionally IP69, safeguarding against dust and high-pressure water jets. A local, backlit LCD display with touch control is also available for user-friendly on-site monitoring and configuration.

Benefits: Safety, Space, and Smart Operation

The Endress+Hauser Promass H 300 delivers a compelling suite of benefits designed to significantly enhance safety, optimize space utilization, and improve operational efficiency in challenging chemical processes. Maximum safety is a paramount advantage, stemming from its construction with highly corrosion-resistant wetted parts like Tantalum or Zirconium. This prevents material degradation and potential leaks when handling aggressive chemicals, thereby ensuring a safer working environment. The device’s multivariable measurement capability, simultaneously capturing mass flow, density, and temperature, reduces the need for multiple sensors and process connections, leading to simplified system design, lower installation costs, and fewer potential leak paths. A key benefit is its space-saving installation design, which eliminates the requirement for upstream or downstream straight pipe runs, allowing for implementation in very confined spaces. The ultra-compact transmitter further contributes to space efficiency, packing full functionality into the smallest possible footprint. Operational efficiency is enhanced through an integrated web server, enabling time-saving local operation without additional software, and robust Heartbeat Technology for integrated verification and diagnostics, ensuring ongoing measurement integrity and facilitating predictive maintenance.

Specialized Applications: Chemical Industry Focus

The Endress+Hauser Promass H 300 excels in a diverse array of specialized applications where precision and resistance to corrosive media are paramount. Within the chemical industry, its robust construction makes it the instrument of choice for accurately measuring the flow of aggressive chemicals such as concentrated sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, and various organic solvents used in diverse production processes. It is ideal for applications requiring precise dosing of specialty chemicals and intermediates, ensuring product quality and process control. In the petrochemical sector, it reliably measures corrosive process streams and catalysts found in refining and chemical synthesis operations. For batch control and precise dosing in fine chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing, where many reagents are corrosive, the Promass H 300 guarantees accuracy and repeatability. It also finds application in wastewater treatment for the accurate metering of corrosive chemicals used in disinfection and pH adjustment. Furthermore, in research and development, it provides a safe and reliable means to measure the flow of new or experimental compounds with potentially unknown corrosivity. Its ability to measure density simultaneously with mass flow also aids in concentration control and interfacial detection in mixed corrosive liquid phases, making it a versatile tool for complex chemical operations.
