Endress+Hauser's Cubemass Coriolis
flowmeter is a small, lightweight flowmeter for installation in spraying or
coating equipment, engine test stands and process skids. Cubemass measures mass
flow, volumetric flow, temperature and density in a single unit, and
communicates to controllers via pulse, frequency, 4-20mA current with HART and
Modbus RS485.
The Cubemass is available in four pipe sizes, from 1/24 to .25 inch (DIN
1 to DIN 6) to measure flow from a
few drops to 2,200 lb-hour (1,000 kg-hour), with mass flow accuracy of +/- 0.10
percent of reading, and repeatability of 0.05 percent for liquids. It also
measures density in liquids with accuracy up to +/- 0.001 g/cc with
repeatability of 0.0005 g/cc. The flowmeter can handle a wide variety of
liquids, such as additives, corrosion inhibitors, fuels, coolants, surface
lacquers and perfume. Cubemass can withstand process pressures up to 5800 psi
(400 bar) and temperatures up to 392F (200C).
Suitable for use in hazardous environments, the Cubemass has ATEX,
IECEx, NEPSI, NEC/CEC and TIIS
approvals. Its 904L stainless steel measuring tube allows it to be used in some
food applications, such as ingredient injection.
Two models are available: the standard Cubemass, which is suitable for
all applications, and the Cubemass DCI,
which has a local display and controls, allowing users to read and operate the
flowmeter locally. The display on the DCI
model can be mounted on the flowmeter or on a panel.
Both flowmeters are easy to install, with VCO
couplings and adapter sets that accommodate most process connections, and they
can be mounted in any orientation for convenience.
Flowmeter Maintenance
Cubemass flowmeters can be checked in the field with standard
Endress+Hauser Fieldcheck and FieldXpert handhelds or FieldCare PC software.
Fieldcheck is a handheld device that works with all Endress+Hauser
instrumentation. It plugs into the flowmeter and allows a technician to check
all vital functions of the sensor and transmitter, and compare the results to a
reference. FieldXpert is a similar device, based on an industrial handheld PDA
and is wireless.
FieldCare software helps a technician configure and service flowmeters
in the field. The PC-based software connects to the flowmeter via a Fieldcheck
device or remotely via HART or Modbus. FieldCare can be used for commissioning,
maintenance analysis, measuring device configuration, service functions,
monitoring process data, troubleshooting, and controlling a Fieldcheck device.
OEMs and end users who already use Endress+Hauser instrumentation in
their products or plants can accommodate Cubemass flowmeters with their
standard Fieldcheck and Fieldcare systems.
