High security and reliability
in chemical and oil and gas operations,security has the highest priority. Therefore, flow meters in functional safety applications must ensurehighest reliability. Despite the high cost, periodic verification testing of key measurement points is an established method to verify functional reliability. AdoptHeartbeat Technology™,Proline flow meters from the plant operator perspective, in such activitiesMinimize workload and reduce personnel exposure.
High reliability, minimize the risk of failure
has been proven in numerous challenging applications to prove the ruggedness and high reliability of Proline flow meters. Based onSafety Design Principlesstrict design, we can significantly reduce the risk of failure:
-
electronic module.
-
In the factory, the module passes 100% traceability testing.
-
certified calibration device to Proline series flow meters as traceable reference value, to achieve continuous self-monitoring.
Heartbeat Technology™ for flexible maintenance
functional safety standards, such as IEC 61508, use the probability of failure to fail (PFD) as the basis for developing periodic verification test plans. Due to heartbeat diagnosisminimizes PFD, Proline users can plan their maintenance with maximum flexibility compared to other flow meter users:-You can plan self-tests based on operational requirements-not self-test for self-test.
compliance with simple electronic declaration
on-site or remote trigger, self-test effectiveness inAdd Heartbeat Validation-No need to interrupt the process. Perform complete diagnostic tests and store the results in secure digital flash memory inside the device. The last eight data sets are stored and can be collected through asset management tools,Generate standard electronic documents. Since the test coverage is about 95%,test coverage is about 95%,Heartbeat Technology™ ensures that the flow meter operates within its specified measurement accuracy.
