krohne H250 M8

Compact Flowmeter for Limited Spaces

The H250 M8 is a compact variable area (VA) flowmeter engineered for reliable flow measurement of liquids and gases in applications where space is a constraint. It combines the simplicity of a mechanical flow measurement with the option for an electronic bargraph indicator and a 4-20 mA output. Its space-saving design makes it a highly suitable and cost-effective solution for installation in tight spaces or on skids and compact equipment. Available in two versions, the H250 M8E features non-contact magnetic sensors for accurate float position detection and a linear analog output, while the H250 M8M is a fully mechanical version that operates without any auxiliary power. This versatility, from a simple, unpowered indicator to a digitally integrated device, ensures it can meet a wide variety of requirements. The robust PPS housing, with an optional stainless steel version, provides durability in various industrial environments.

Functionality with or without Auxiliary Power

The H250 M8’s dual-version design offers a unique blend of functionality and operational independence. The H250 M8M version operates entirely without auxiliary power, providing a simple, reliable mechanical indication of flow and offering the option for two mechanical limit switches. This feature is particularly valuable in remote locations or for safety applications where power loss is a concern. The H250 M8E version, on the other hand, utilizes advanced magnetic sensors to transmit a linear analog signal (4-20 mA) in 2-wire technology, allowing for seamless integration into a plant’s control system. Both versions display the flow value on a clear scale. This choice between a purely mechanical or a smart electronic device provides unparalleled flexibility, allowing users to select the exact functionality they need without over-investing in unnecessary features. This modular approach is a hallmark of the H250 family.

Built for Safety and Durability

Safety and durability are core components of the H250 M8’s design. The meter holds approvals for use in hazardous areas, including ATEX, IECEx, and cQPSus certifications, making it a reliable choice for explosive atmospheres. It is also rated for use in Safety Instrumented Systems (SIL 2), demonstrating its high level of integrity for critical safety applications. The meter’s robust construction from materials like austenitic stainless steel and various alloys (including Hastelloy®, Monel®, and Titanium) ensures its resistance to corrosive media, thereby extending its operational life. The standard PPS housing and optional stainless steel housing provide robust protection against external elements, supported by a high ingress protection rating of IP66/67. This combination of safety certifications and a durable build makes the H250 M8 a trusted device for a wide range of challenging industrial processes.

Specific Applications Across Diverse Industries

• OEM Applications: As a compact and highly reliable meter, the H250 M8 is a popular choice for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to integrate into their machinery and skids, offering a ready-to-use flow measurement solution.
• Food and Beverage: With the appropriate hygienic connections, it is used for measuring the flow of cleaning solutions (e.g., in a CIP system) or for other non-sanitary liquid and gas applications.

Space-Saving Design and Versatile Connections

The H250 M8 is specifically designed for space-constrained environments. Its compact size allows for easy and unobtrusive installation, a crucial factor in many industrial plants where every inch of space is valuable. This makes it a perfect fit for machine skids, utility panels, and other installations with limited room. The meter also comes with a wide range of process connections, including flanges (DN15-50 / ½-2″), NPT and G threads, and various hygienic connections (Tri-Clamp, DIN, SMS). This extensive selection ensures that the H250 M8 can be easily integrated into virtually any existing piping system without major modifications. The meter’s versatility and compact nature make it an indispensable tool for engineers looking to optimize their designs and improve operational efficiency.
