GE RHM 12 User manual

RHM 12
The RHM 12 can measure ow rates up to 100 kg/
min (220 lb/min) with temperatures in excess of
350°C and pressures up to 331 bar. This model is
truly a versatile solution, manufactured by GE’s
Rheonik mass owmeter experts.
Applications

• Batching • Injections • Filling
Features
• Flow uncertainty down to 0.12%
• Density uncertainty down to 0.5%
• Repeatability better than 0.05%
• Unique torsion oscillator
• Typical measuring ranges from 1 to 100 kg/min
• Minimal ows as low as 0.75 kg/min
• Optimized solutions for batching operation
• Customization possible
• Extra compact design with minimal space
requirement
• Hazardous Area Approvals (ATEX, CSA, ...)
Standard 1 inch Coriolis
Mass Flowmeter
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

Pressure Rating RHM 12
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).

• Serial/single path versions oer the same accuracy at
half the ow (Qmax serial version = 50 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.
