Hatfield, Pennsylvania (October 19, 2004) — Emerson Process Management has released its 2nd generation Coriolis mass flow meter/controller with approval for use in Class 1 Division 2 installations as a UL-recognized component. Since its original introduction, the Brooks Instrument family of QUANTIM Coriolis technologies from Emerson has been recognized by numerous industry awards as an innovation in precision mass flow control for low-flow ranges. This recently released version extends flow ranges to as low as 1 g/hr (gram per hour) and as high as 28,000 g/hr.
“QUANTIM will now be available for installation in locations which are potentially hazardous, as defined by Class 1 Division 2,” commented Steve Kannengieszer, Director of Industry Marketing for the Brooks line of industrial technologies. "In addition, QUANTIM’s wider flow ranges extend the reach in all types of installations where precision mass flow measurement and control are required."
A modular hardware platform using improved sensing tube geometries and optical sensing techniques now enables QUANTIM to handle both liquids and gases. Customers will also experience better overall accuracy at the low end of the flow range because of improved zero-stability. The new QUANTIM Coriolis mass flow controller features a new valve that is more forgiving of variations in line pressures and reduces the chance of clogging due to the use of a larger orifice. The new valve also uses an all-metal valve seat, thus eliminating potential control issues associated with elastomer valve seat compatibility and swelling.
About QUANTIM
QUANTIM is the lowest flow Coriolis meter and controller available on the market today. Users can change liquids or gases without switching meters or recalibrating the device. QUANTIM has no moving parts in the area where process liquids and gases flow, which minimizes maintenance requirements. Minimal physical space is required due to its small, integrated design. Piping and wiring during installation are dramatically simplified since QUANTIM has fully integrated sensor, transmitter, valve, and control electronics.
