RHM 04
g
The RHM 04 can measure ow rates up to 10 kg/min
(22 lb/min) with extremely fast response times and
excellent repeatability. A very high pressure version
up to 1067 bar is also available, manufactured by
GE’s Rheonik mass owmeter experts.
Applications
• General control • Dosing • Mixing
• Batching • Injections • Filling
Features
• Available as very high pressure version up to 1067
bar
• Response times of 30 ms and better
• Flow uncertainty down to 0.10%
• Repeatability better than 0.05%
• Unique torsion oscillator
• Typical measuring ranges from 0.1 to 10 kg/min
• Minimal ows as low as 50 g/min
• Customization possible
• Extra compact design with minimal space
requirement
• Hazardous Area Approvals (ATEX, CSA, ...)
Versatile Coriolis Mass
Flowmeter with Fast
Response Times for Very
High Pressure Applications
Advantages
• Torsion oscillator design assures most stable and
basically drift free measurement and increased
signal to noise ratio
• Not sensitive to changes in pressure
• Longest life time and increased safety (low stress
in welds and increased wall thickness against
abrasion)
• No moving parts, practically no maintenance
• Removable connection manifold available

Pressure Rating RHM 04
The maximum pressure (pmax) of a sensor is determined by its weakest part. The weakest part can be the measuring
loops (pmax indicated below) or the construction type (pmax indicated in the Basic Order Code section, last page) or the
selected anges / ttings (for pmax please see respective standard).

(**) Selected sensors are only available in combination
with temperature options T1, TA, standard material and
pressure range.
• Serial/single path versions oer the same accuracy at
half the ow (Qmax serial version = 5 kg/min).
• No relevant pressure eect due to torsional oscillation
and semi-circle (non-deforming) measurement
section.
• Uncertainty of reading (incl. zero drift) indications refer
to reference conditions H2O, 18-24°C (66 - 76°F), 1 - 3
bar (15 – 45 psi) and installation according to eld
manual.
• Pressure drop indications refer to H2O, with parallel
measuring loops type P1 and standard manifold block
connections.
• For calibration to customer range and / or with
improved uncertainty, please consult factory.
