GE RHM 40 User manual

RHM 40
g
The RHM 40 can measure ow rates up to 90 t/h
(3307 lb/min) with temperatures in excess of 350°C
and pressures up to 257 bar. This model is medium
sized and also appropriate for tough application
conditions, manufactured by GE’s Rheonik mass
owmeter experts..
Applications
• Loading of boats, vessels, rail tank wagons
• High temperatures and other challenging
applications
• Highly viscous media (low pressure drop and
excellent performance at low ow conditions)
Features
• Suitable for pressure up to 257 bar
• Flow uncertainty down to 0.15%
• Density uncertainty down to 0.5%
• Repeatability better than 0.05%
• Unique torsion oscillator
• Typical measuring ranges from 15 to 1500 kg/min
• Minimal ows as low as 13 kg/min
Medium Sized Coriolis
Mass Flowmeter
• Customization possible
• Hazardous Area Approvals (ATEX, CSA, ...)
Advantages
• Medium ow rates in combination with high
operating pressure
• 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 40
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).
