Traditional mechanical flow and level transmitters have been superseded by modern transmitters with no moving parts for the majority of applications. Guided wave radar level transmitters, vibronic level switches and the array of modern flow technologies on offer from Endress+Hauser have a number of significant advantages both on new installations and as a direct replacement for equipment on your existing plant, reducing costs while increasing safety.
Time to replace your old turbine, PD and DP flowmeters? Modern flow technologies offer huge benefits over older mechanical devices, not only from reduced maintenance costs and increased safety but also by providing much more process data to allow more efficient running of your plant. For example, Coriolis meters provide up to 10 process measurements, including mass flow, volume flow, temperature, viscosity, density and concentration.
Diagnosis in a heartbeat With the introduction of Heartbeat Technology on our latest range of flowmeters, you’re able to maximise yield and productivity. Heartbeat Technology offers a continuous healthcheck of your flowmeters ensuring key parameters are performing within specification at all times. Deviation from the reference values will trigger warnings as per NAMUR NE107.
As an additional feature, verification and monitoring can be added to the diagnostics to provide trend analysis, live quantitative performance data and on-demand reporting. The verification enables documented proof that the flowmeter is functional and can be used as part of the proof testing procedure for SIL instruments.
Modern level transmitters to replace mechanical devices Traditional displacer level transmitters and float switches have been superseded by guided wave radar devices for a majority of level measurement applications. While the concept of a displacer or float is simple, the moving parts they rely on make them subject to the same issues that affect all mechanical systems, thereby reducing reliability. Fitting modern level transmitters that have no moving parts gives increased confidence in the measurement by removing the most common causes of failure. With all the production, maintenance and safety improvements to be gained from upgrading your installed base, isn’t it time you upgraded?
