Endress+Hauser Proline Promass K 10 Coriolis Flowmeter
The Endress+Hauser Proline Promass K 10 is a cost-effective Coriolis flowmeter for basic liquid and gas measurement, designed for utility processes and elementary mass flow measurement tasks. It provides dependable measurement for common media such as air, gas, fuel and water, while maintaining a straightforward hardware and software concept for simplified engineering, commissioning and servicing.
Cost-Effective Coriolis Flow Measurement
Promass K 10 is designed as an economical alternative to conventional mechanical flowmeters for applications where reliable mass flow measurement and low total cost of ownership are important.
The Coriolis measuring principle provides direct mass flow measurement and operates independently of physical fluid properties such as viscosity and density. This allows the instrument to provide stable measurement across a range of basic industrial applications.
Liquid and Gas Measurement
Promass K 10 can measure both liquids and gases, making it suitable for a wide range of utility and general-purpose process applications.
Typical applications include:
Water flow measurement
Fuel measurement
Air measurement
Industrial gas measurement
Basic liquid flow measurement
Utility process measurement
General-purpose process monitoring
Multivariable Measurement
Promass K 10 can provide several process variables from a single measuring point, including:
Mass flow
Volume flow
Corrected volume flow
Temperature
Density, depending on configuration
This multivariable capability can reduce the number of separate measuring points required in a process system while providing additional information for process monitoring and control.
Compact Dual-Tube Sensor
The flowmeter features a compact dual-tube Coriolis sensor, making it suitable for installations where available space is limited.
The nominal diameter range is:
DN 8 to DN 80 (3/8 to 3")
The maximum measuring range reaches:
180,000 kg/h (6,615 lb/min).
Reliable Measurement Performance
Promass K 10 provides reliable measurement for basic process and utility applications.
Key accuracy specifications include:
Liquid mass flow: ±0.5% standard
Liquid mass flow: ±0.15% optional
Gas mass flow: ±0.75%
This makes Promass K 10 particularly suitable where dependable measurement is required without the higher cost and complexity of premium flowmeter solutions.
Space-Saving Installation
Promass K 10 does not require conventional inlet and outlet straight pipe runs.
This provides greater flexibility when installing the flowmeter in compact process piping systems and can help simplify equipment layout.
Process Temperature and Pressure
Promass K 10 is designed for standard industrial and utility process conditions.
Key specifications include:
Medium temperature: -40 to +150 °C (-40 to +302 °F)
Maximum process pressure: PN 40 / Class 300 / 40K
Process pressure capability: up to 100 bar
Nominal diameter: DN 8 to DN 80
Robust Wetted Materials
The measuring tube is manufactured from 1.4539 (904L) stainless steel, while the process connection is 1.4404 (316/316L).
These materials provide a robust solution for common industrial, utility and basic hygienic applications.
Easy Operation and Commissioning
Promass K 10 is designed with a simple and time-saving operating concept.
Depending on configuration, operation can be performed using:
2.4" LCD display with touch control
Bluetooth-enabled mobile devices
Endress+Hauser SmartBlue app
Guided parameterization helps simplify commissioning both before installation and directly in the field.
Flexible System Integration
Promass K 10 supports several communication technologies for integration into plant infrastructure:
HART
IO-Link
Modbus RS485
The device can therefore be integrated into different automation and monitoring architectures while maintaining a relatively simple instrumentation concept.
Hygienic and Hazardous-Area Applications
Depending on configuration, Promass K 10 is available for basic hygienic applications and can be supplied with approvals such as 3-A, cGMP and EHEDG.
Hazardous-area approvals include options such as ATEX, IECEx and cCSAus, with additional regional approvals available depending on configuration.
Heartbeat Technology
Promass K 10 incorporates Endress+Hauser Heartbeat Technology for integrated verification.
Heartbeat Technology supports measurement reliability and can help extend recalibration intervals while providing additional confidence in the long-term performance of the measuring device.
