Promass H:
DN 8...15: 25 bar or 375 psi; DN 25...50: 16 bar or 250 psi
Promass I:
40 bar or 600 psi
Limiting flow See “Measuring range” section. → Page 147 ff.
Select nominal diameter by optimising between required flow range and permissible pressure loss.
See the “Measuring range” section for a list of max. possible full scale values.
• The minimum recommended full scale value is approx. 1/20 of the max. full scale value.
• In most applications, 20...50% of the maximum full scale value can be considered ideal.
• Select a lower full scale value for abrasive substances such as liquids with entrained solids (flow
velocity < 1 m/s).
• For gas measurement the following rules apply:
– Flow velocity in the measuring tubes should not be more than half the sonic velocity
(0.5 Mach).
– The maximum mass flow depends on the density of the gas: formula → Page 148 ff.

Pressure loss Pressure loss depends on the properties of the fluid and on its flow. The following formulas can be
used to approximately calculate the pressure loss:

∆p = pressure loss [mbar]
ν = kinematic viscosity [m2/s]
g = mass flow [kg/s]
ρ = fluid density [kg/m3]
d = inside diameter of measuring tubes [m]
K...K2 = constants (depending on nominal diameter)
1) To compute the pressure loss for gases, always use the formula for Re ≥ 2300.
