Rheonik RHE42 Ex de Field Mount Flow Transmitter

With its advanced digital signal processing capability and in conjunction with our sensors, the RHE 42 can achieve an ultimate mass flow measurement uncertainty of 0.05 %, making it ideal for both filling and bottling or any kind of high accuracy/reliability plant flow or density measurement.

Description

With its advanced digital signal processing capability and in conjunction with our sensors, the RHE 42 can achieve an ultimate mass flow measurement uncertainty of 0.05 %, making it ideal for both filling and bottling or any kind of high accuracy/reliability plant flow or density measurement. Connectivity includes a full suite of communications buses including Foundation Fieldbus and Modbus TCP/IP. The RHE 42 is a well specified transmitter relevant for large scale plant and project opportunities.
