Description

Compact, cost effective and highly accurate. The RHE 46 offers the full range of features of the Rheonik 40 series, while being easy to install in a DIN rail. With its advanced digital signal processing, the RHE 46 can achieve an ultimate measurement uncertainty of 0.05% for mass flow, making it ideal for bottling or any type of highly accurate/reliable flow or density measurement in plants.
