Overview of the Proline Promag 55S
The Proline Promag 55S is a high-performance electromagnetic flowmeter designed to precisely measure liquids—even those that are abrasive, inhomogeneous, or contain solids. It’s a robust, reliable solution ideal for demanding industrial environments.
Key Features & Specifications
1. Applications & Fluid Types
- Suited for measuring bidirectional flow of:
- Liquids with at least 5 µS/cm conductivity
- Fluids with solid contents (e.g., pulp, slurries up to 15 Vol-%)
- Challenging media like fruit mashes, concentrates, soups, slurries (e.g., ore or mortar), thick wastewater, and chemically inhomogeneous fluids
- Excellent for sectors such as pulp & paper, wastewater treatment, mining, and food production.
2. Performance & Range
- Flow range: up to ~9,600 m³/h (≈42,267 gal/min)
- Process conditions: Temperatures from –40 °C to +180 °C; pressure up to 40 bar (580 psi)
- Diameter: DN 15…600 (½″ to 24″)
- Accuracy: typically ±0.2%
3. Sensor Design & Materials
- Built with industry-specific liners: natural rubber, hard rubber, polyurethane, PTFE, PFA
- Multiple electrode options: flat, bullet-nose, neck, bow, brush shapes; materials include 1.4435/304L, Alloy C-22, tantalum, platinum, duplex steel, tungsten carbide, titanium
- Designed for abrasion resistance and longevity—especially important when handling abrasive slurries or solid-laden fluids.
4. Advanced Transmitter & Diagnostics
- Modular transmitter architecture enhances efficiency and configurability
- Features include:
- Electrode cleaning routines
- Advanced diagnostics
- Mass flow and solids-content calculation
- Stability boosted by unique signal processing technology
5. Integration & Communication
- Compatible with common industrial protocols: HART, PROFIBUS DP/PA, FOUNDATION Fieldbus
- Expands connectivity for modern automation and smart monitoring.
6. Additional Advantages
- Virtually unaffected by variations in pressure, density, temperature, or viscosity
- No moving parts—i.e., low maintenance and high reliability
- Built-in self-diagnostics and recovery capabilities
- Offers integrated solids-content measurement—essential for process control in slurry environments
- Features like touch-controlled backlit display and switch outputs (two) aid usability
