With the Promass Q, Endress+Hauser has won the Swiss Technology Award in the Innovation Leaders category. The Coriolis-based flowmeter, developed especially for applications in the oil & gas and food & beverage industries, was cited for its outstanding measurement accuracy, even in difficult operating conditions. The prize was awarded on Thursday during the Swiss Innovation Forum.
”With the Promass Q, we managed to combine state-of-the-art technology, innovative design and superior quality in a single instrument. We are proud that our efforts have been recognized with the Swiss Technology Award,” says Dr. Martin Anklin, who is responsible for the development of Coriolis instruments at Endress+Hauser Flowtec in Reinach, the Group’s center of competence for flow measurement technology.
Promass Q – the specialist for demanding applications
A high degree of measurement accuracy is extremely important in a wide range of industrial applications. In the past, however, this required an ideal environment with stable process conditions and single-phase, homogeneous media. With the Promass Q, Endress+Hauser guarantees unrivalled accuracy when measuring mass flow, volume flow and density, even under fluctuating process conditions.
With the Promass Q, Endress+Hauser has forged a new approach for precisely measuring gaseous media. The innovative multi-frequency technology (MFT) for Coriolis flow measurements makes it possible to actively compensate for measurement errors caused by entrained gas trapped in the medium, all in real-time. Integrated diagnostics and Heartbeat technology furthermore allow verification of the sensors, measurement tubes and measurement electronics while the process is running. This guarantees maximum product and process safety.
