Proline t-mass 65 PROFIBUS DP/PA Safety instructions
Endress+Hauser 5
1 Safety instructions
1.1 Designated use
The measuring device described in these Operating Instructions is to be used only for measuring the
mass flow rate of gases (e. g. kg, Nm3scf). At the same time, the system also measures gas
temperature. The measuring device can be configured to measure a standard range of pure gases or
gas mixtures.
Examples:
•Air
• Oxygen
• Nitrogen
• Carbon Dioxide
•Argon,etc.
The use with corrosive, saturated or unclean gases should be treated with caution (contact your
Endress+Hauser sales representative). The use with unstable gases or gases not deemed to be
suitable by Endress+Hauser must be avoided. The measuring device is not designed to be used with
liquids or fluids in the liquid phase.
Resulting from incorrect use or from use other than that designated, the operational safety of the
measuring devices can be jeopardized. The manufacturer accepts no liability for damages being
produced from this.
1.2 Installation, commissioning and operation
Note the following points:
• Installation, connection to the electricity supply, commissioning and maintenance of the device
must be carried out by trained, qualified specialists authorised to perform such work by the
facility's owner operator.
The specialist must have read and understood these Operating Instructions and must follow the
instructions they contain.
• The device must be operated by persons authorised and trained by the facility's owner-operator.
Strict compliance with the instructions in the Operating Instruction is mandatory.
• Endress+Hauser is willing to assist in clarifying the chemical resistance properties of parts wetted
by special fluids, including fluids used for cleaning. However small changes in temperature,
concentration or the degree of contamination in the process can result in changes of the chemical
resistance properties. Therefore, Endress+Hauser can not guarantee or accept liability for the
chemical resistance properties of the fluid wetted materials in a specific application. The user is
responsible for the choice of fluid wetted materials in regards to their in-process resistance to
corrosion.
• If carrying out welding work on the piping, the welding unit should not be grounded by means
of the measuring device.
• The installer must ensure that the measuring system is correctly wired in accordance with the
wiring diagrams. The transmitter must be earthed unless special protection measures have been
taken e.g. galvanically isolated power supply SELV or PELV! (SELV = Safe Extra Low Voltage;
PELV = Protective Extra Low Voltage)
• Invariably, local regulations governing the opening and repair of electrical devices apply.

Safety instructions Proline t-mass 65 PROFIBUS DP/PA
6Endress+Hauser
1.3 Operational safety
Note the following points:
• Measuring systems for use in hazardous environments are accompanied by separate "Ex
documentation", which is an integral part of these Operating Instructions. Strict compliance with
the installation instructions and ratings as stated in this supplementary documentation is
mandatory. The symbol on the front of this supplementary Ex documentation indicates the
approval and the certification body (e.g. 0Europe, 2USA, 1Canada).
• When hot fluid passes through the measuring tube, the surface temperature of the housing
increases. In the case of the sensor, in particular, users should expect temperatures that can be
close to the fluid temperature. If the temperature of the fluid is high, implement sufficient
measures to prevent burning or scalding.
• The measuring device complies with the general safety requirements in accordance with
EN 61010-1, the EMC requirements of IEC/EN 61326, and NAMUR recommendation NE 21,
NE 43 and NE 53.
• The separate document on the Pressure Equipment Directive must be observed for devices used
in Category II or III installations in accordance with the Pressure Equipment Directive.
• The manufacturer reserves the right to modify technical data without prior notice. Your
Endress+Hauser distributor will supply you with current information and updates to these
Operating Instructions.
1.4 Return
• Do not return a measuring device if you are not absolutely certain that all traces of hazardous
substances have been removed, e.g. substances which have penetrated crevices or diffused
through plastic.
• Costs incurred for waste disposal and injury (burns, etc.) due to inadequate cleaning will be
charged to the owner-operator.
• Please note the measures on ä106
1.5 Notes on safety conventions and icons
The devices are designed to meet state-of-the-art safety requirements, have been tested, and left the
factory in a condition in which they are safe to operate. The devices comply with the applicable
standards and regulations in accordance with EN 61010-1 "Protection Measures for Electrical

The following instructions apply to unpacking and to transporting the device to its final location:
• Transport the devices in the containers in which they are delivered.
• The covers or caps fitted to the process connections prevent mechanical damage to the
transducers during transportation and storage. Consequently, do not remove these covers or caps
until immediately before installation.
• Do not lift measuring devices of nominal diameters > DN 40 (> 1½") by the transmitter housing
or the connection housing in the case of the remote version (å4). Use webbing slings slung
round the two process connections. Do not use chains, as they could damage the housing.
#Warning!
Risk of injury if the measuring device slips. The center of gravity of the assembled measuring device
might be higher than the points around which the slings are slung.
At all times, therefore, make sure that the device does not unexpectedly turn around its axis or slip.

3.1.3 Storage
Note the following points:
• Pack the measuring device in such a way as to protect it reliably against impact for storage (and
transportation). The original packaging provides optimum protection.
• The permissible storage temperature is –40 to +80 °C (–40 °F to +176 °F).
Preferably +20 °C (+68 °F).
• Do not remove the protective covers or caps on the process connections until you are ready to
install the device.
• The measuring device must be protected against direct sunlight during storage in order to avoid
unacceptably high surface temperatures.
• Devices delivered with special sealing or bagging for oxygen service must remain sealed or bagged
until ready for installation.

3.2 Installation conditions
Note the following points:
• The thermal dispersion principle is very sensitive to disturbed flow conditions.
• Observe the recommended inlet and outlet requirements.
• Good engineering practice is necessary for the associated pipe work and installation.
• Ensure correct alignment and orientation of the sensor.
• Take measures to reduce or avoid condensation (e.g. install a condensation trap, thermal
insulation, etc.).
• The maximum permitted ambient temperatures and the medium temperature range (ä111)
must be observed.
• Install the transmitter in a shaded location or use a protective sun shield.
• For mechanical reasons, and in order to protect the pipe, it is advisable to support heavy sensors.
3.2.1 Dimensions
The dimensions and installation lengths of the sensor and transmitter can be found in the "Technical
Information" for the device in question. This document can be downloaded as a PDF file from
www.endress.com. A list of the "Technical Information" documents available is provided in the
"Documentation" section on ä116.
3.2.2 System pressure and pulsating flow
Reciprocating pumps and some compressor systems can create strong changes in process pressure
that can induce spurious internal flow patterns and therefore cause additional measurement error.
These pressure pulses must be reduced by the appropriate measures:
• Use of expansion tanks
• Use of inlet expanders
• Relocate the flowmeter further downstream
In compressed air systems, it is recommended to mount the flowmeter after the filter, dryer and
buffer devices to avoid pulsations and oil/dirt contamination. Do not mount the flowmeter directly
after the compressor outlet.

3.2.3 Pipework requirements
Good engineering practice should be followed at all times:
• Correct preparation, welding and finishing techniques
• Correctly sized gaskets
• Correctly aligned flanges and gaskets
• Connecting pipe work should match the internal diameter of the flowmeter.
Maximum pipe diameter mismatch should not exceed:
– 1 mm (0.04 inch) for diameters < DN 200 (8")
– 3 mm (0.12 inch) for diameters DN 200 (8")
For further information please refer to ISO 14511.
"Caution!
New installations should be free of metallic and abrasive particles to prevent damage to the sensing
elements on start-up.

3.2.5 Inlet and outlet runs
The thermal dispersion principle is sensitive to disturbed flow conditions.
As a general rule, the thermal flowmeter should always be installed as far away as possible from any
flow disturbances. For further information please refer to ISO 14511.
!Note!
• Where two or more flow disturbances are located upstream of the meter, the longest indicated
inlet length should prevail. For example if a control valve and a bend are mounted upstream of
the flowmeter, the recommended inlet length should be according to the control valve (50 × DN).
• For very light gases such as Helium and Hydrogen all upstream distances should be doubled.
The minimum recommendations for inlet and outlet runs (without flow conditioner) are:
Flanged sensor
Insertion sensor
!Note!
A specially designed perforated plate flow conditioner can be installed if it is not possible to observe
the inlet runs required (ä16).

Outlet runs with pressure measuring points
The pressure measuring point should be installed downstream of the measuring device, so that there
is no potential influence of the pressure transmitter process connection on the flow entering the
measuring point.

Flow conditoner for use with flanged sensors ä87
This is a special Endress+Hauser version designed specially for use with the t-mass F sensor (sizes
DN 25 to 100 / 1" to 4"). The mounting hole patterns and sizing are of a multi-variant design which
means that one plate will fit different flange pressure classes e.g. Cl. 150 and Cl. 300.
The flow conditioner and gaskets are fitted between two pipe flange and the flow meter
flange å7 .
Use only bolts which match to tehflange bolt hole and this will ensure that the correct positioning
of the plate can be found. The alignment notch must also be pointing in the same plane as the
transmitter.
Incorrect installation of the flow conditioner will have a small effect on the measurement accuracy.

!Note!
• For optimum performance, it is advised that the t-mass F sensor and flow conditioner are ordered
at the same time such that they are calibrated together. To retrospectively fit a flow conditioner
will have a small effect on the measurement performance.
• The use of other types of flow conditioners, other than the Endress+Hauser flow conditioner, with
the t-mass F sensor will have an impact on the measurement performance due to the effects of
flow profile and pressure drop.
• Bolts, nuts, seals, etc. are not included in the scope of supply and must be supplied by the
customer.

3.2.6 Heating
Some applications require suitable measures to avoid heat loss (condensation). Heating can be
electric, e. g. with heated elements, or by means of hot water, steam pipes or insulation.
"Caution!
Risk of electronics overheating! Consequently, make sure that the adapter between sensor and
transmitter and the connection housing of the remote version always remain free of insulating
material.
3.2.7 Thermal insulation
When the gas is very damp or saturated with water (e. g. bio gas), the piping and flowmeter body
should be insulated to prevent water droplets condensing on the measuring sensor.

3.3 Installation instructions
3.3.1 Mounting the insertion sensor
The sensor can be mounted into a welding socket or a retractable mounting set. If a retractable
mounting set is being used, then refer to the supplementary documentation delivered with the
mounting set.
Mounting the welding socket
This instruction describes mounting of the Endress+Hauser welding socket. If an existing or
customer-specific mounting set is being used, then go to the next section "Insertion depth
calculation and adjustment".
!Note!
• Take the orientation and inlet and outlet runs into account before mounting the welding
socketä14 ff.
• The welding socket is made of stainless steel 1.4404 (316/316L). Use appropriate welding
technique.
"Caution!
When mounting the fitting to a thin wall duct, use a suitable support bracket for the sensor and weld
the welding socket to a base plate to spread the load. Otherwise, the mounting may be unstable and
the duct wall can be damaged.
#Warning!
• These instructions are only applicable to installation in an un-pressurized line, without gas present
and at safe temperatures.
1. Drill or cut hole of Ø 31.0 mm ± 0.5 mm (1.22" ± 0.019") in the pipe.
2. Deburr the hole.
3. Fit the edge of the welding socket into hole, align it vertically and weld it on å9.
A0010098
Fig. 9: Positioning the welding socket on the pipe (or duct)
Insertion depth calculation and adjustment
To obtain the best measurement results, it is important that the sensor is inserted at the right
insertion depth in the pipe/duct. A millimeter and inch scale is provided along the entire length of
the sensor tube. This makes it possible to align the sensor at the right depth.
4. Calculate the insertion depth:
– with the help of the Quick Setup "Sensor" ä51 or
– using the following dimensions and formulae
