Endress+Hauser Proline Promass X 500 Coriolis Flowmeter
The Endress+Hauser Proline Promass X 500 is a high-capacity Coriolis flowmeter designed for applications requiring accurate measurement of very large liquid and gas flow rates. As a four-tube Coriolis flowmeter, it is specifically engineered for high-flow applications in the onshore and offshore oil and gas industry.
With nominal diameters from DN 300 to DN 400 (12 to 16") and a measuring range up to 4,100 t/h, Promass X 500 provides a high-capacity measurement solution while maintaining accurate mass flow, volume flow and density measurement.
High-Capacity Four-Tube Coriolis Flowmeter
Promass X 500 is designed around a four-tube measuring system with low pressure drop, making it suitable for extremely high flow rates.
The large nominal diameter and four-tube design allow a single measurement point to handle substantial quantities of process media.
Key measurement specifications include:
Liquid mass flow accuracy: ±0.10% standard
Liquid mass flow accuracy: ±0.05% with option
Liquid volume flow accuracy: ±0.10%
Gas mass flow accuracy: ±0.25%
Liquid density accuracy: ±0.0005 g/cm³
Measuring range: 0 to 4,100 t/h
Nominal diameter: DN 300 to DN 400 (12 to 16")
Designed for Oil and Gas Applications
Promass X 500 is particularly suited to onshore and offshore oil and gas applications where large quantities of hydrocarbons or other process fluids need to be measured accurately.
Typical applications include:
Oil and gas production
Onshore oil and gas facilities
Offshore platforms
Hydrocarbon measurement
Large-volume liquid measurement
Oil transfer systems
Process measurement
High-capacity metering systems
Pipeline and terminal applications
Its high-capacity design allows large process flows to be measured through a single installation point, potentially reducing the number of required measuring points.
High Flow Capacity with Low Pressure Drop
The four-tube sensor design is optimized for high flow rates while maintaining a low pressure drop.
This is particularly important in large-diameter process pipelines, where unnecessary pressure loss can increase operating costs and affect overall system efficiency.
Promass X 500 therefore provides a combination of:
Very high flow capacity
Low pressure drop
Accurate Coriolis measurement
Large nominal diameters
Single-point multivariable measurement
Multivariable Measurement
One of the key advantages of Promass X 500 is the ability to measure multiple process variables from a single installation point.
The instrument can provide:
Mass flow
Volume flow
Density
Temperature
This can reduce the need for multiple independent measuring instruments and simplify measurement systems for large-scale oil and gas installations.
Remote Transmitter with Up to 4 I/Os
The Promass X 500 uses a remote transmitter configuration, allowing the sensor and transmitter to be installed separately.
The transmitter provides:
Up to 4 configurable I/Os
Backlit display
Touch control
WLAN access
Flexible fieldbus communication
Freely configurable I/O functionality
Full access to process information
Full access to diagnostic information
The remote architecture provides greater installation flexibility, especially for large process installations where the sensor is installed in a pipeline and the transmitter needs to be positioned in a more accessible location.
Flexible Industrial Communication
Promass X 500 is designed for integration into modern industrial automation and measurement systems.
Its configurable I/O architecture and Ethernet communication options support integration with:
PLC systems
DCS systems
SCADA systems
Oil and gas automation systems
Metering systems
Plant asset management systems
This allows the flowmeter to be integrated into existing process control and digital infrastructure.
Space-Saving Installation
Despite its very large flow capacity, Promass X 500 does not require conventional inlet and outlet straight pipe runs.
This can simplify piping layouts and reduce the space required for flowmeter installation, which is particularly valuable in large industrial plants and offshore installations where available space can be limited.
Wide Process Temperature Range
Promass X 500 supports a medium temperature range of:
-50 to +180 °C (-58 to +356 °F).
This allows the flowmeter to handle a broad range of industrial process conditions in oil and gas and other high-capacity flow applications.
High Process Pressure Capability
The maximum process pressure is:
PN 100 / Class 600.
This makes Promass X 500 suitable for demanding high-pressure process environments.
316/316L Stainless Steel Construction
The measuring tube and process connections are manufactured from:
1.4404 (316/316L) stainless steel.
The robust construction supports use in demanding industrial environments and large-scale process measurement systems.
Heartbeat Technology
Promass X 500 incorporates Endress+Hauser Heartbeat Technology for integrated verification and diagnostics.
Heartbeat Technology helps users verify instrument performance and obtain diagnostic information without unnecessarily removing the flowmeter from the process.
