The Swiss Technology Award for the Promass Q flowmeter is Awarded
With the Promass Q, Endress+Hauser has won the Swiss Technology Award in the Innovation Leaders category. The Coriolis- based flowmeter, developed especially for applications in the oil & gas and food & beverage industries, was cited for its outstanding measurement accuracy, even in difficult operating conditions. The prize was awarded on Thursday during the Swiss Innovation Forum.
The Swiss Technology Award is considered Switzerland’s most important innovation and technology prize. Endress+Hauser was one of nine finalists out of 60 applicants who were selected to present their product or technological innovation to the main jury. The winners were chosen and recognized in front of more than 1,000 guests from business, science and government during the Swiss Innovation Forum in Basel, Switzerland.
“With the Promass Q, we managed to combine state-of-the-art technology, innovative design and superior quality in a single instrument. We are proud that our efforts have been recognized with the Swiss Technology Award,” says Dr. Martin Anklin, who is responsible for the development of Coriolis instruments at Endress+Hauser Flowtec in Reinach, the Group’s center of competence for flow measurement technology.
The Switzerland-based measurement and automation technology specialist places a high value on research and development. In 2016, global R&D investments at the Endress+Hauser Group were 7.8 percent of sales. The consistently high number of patent filings in all application areas of measurement technology furthermore illustrates the family-owned company’s sustained innovation strength.

A high degree of measurement accuracy is extremely important in a wide range of industrial applications. In the past, however, this required an ideal environment with stable process conditions and single- phase, homogeneous media. With the Promass Q, Endress+Hauser guarantees unrivalled accuracy when measuring mass flow, volume flow and density, even under fluctuating process conditions.
With the Promass Q, Endress+Hauser has forged a new approach for precisely measuring gaseous media. The innovative multi-frequency technology (MFT) for Coriolis flow measurements makes it possible to actively compensate for measurement errors caused by entrained gas trapped in the medium, all in real-time. Integrated diagnostics and Heartbeat technology furthermore allow verification of the sensors, measurement tubes and measurement electronics while the process is running. This guarantees maximum product and process safety.
The Swiss Technology Award recognizes innovative technology projects from businesses and universities. The prize, which has been awarded by organizers of the Swiss Economic Forum since 2007, identifies technology innovations and developments that make an important contribution to industry and society. From all the projects submitted, an interdisciplinary panel of experts select nine finalists, three each in the categories Inventors, Start-ups and Innovation Leaders. The awards are presented during the Swiss Innovation Forum in Basel.
Dual Function Flow Switch/Monitor Performs

With its flexible design, the dual function FS10i Flow Switch/Monitor from Fluid Components International (FCI) delivers two functions in a single instrument, providing process and plant engineers a flow monitor at the price of a flow switch.
The FS10i Flow Switch/Monitor is particularly useful in gas flow safety-related applications because it is designed to provide a dependable high- or low-trip point alarm. It also includes an analog 4-20 mA output signal at no additional cost. Configured in the field, the FS10i also eliminates the burden of additional calibration costs that are normally associated with other flow measurement applications.

The versatile FS10i Flow Switch/Monitor operates over a wide flow range in air/gas from .25 FPS to 400 SFPS [0,076 MPS to 122 MPS] and in water from 0.01 FPS to 0.5 FPS [0,003 MPS to 0,15 MPS]. Repeatability: ±0.5% of reading.
The full range capability of the FS10i Flow Switch/Monitor can be employed in gas applications, including hazardous gases. With its optional Div 2/Zone 2 approvals, the FS10i is ideally suited for applications monitoring seal leaks, compressed air leaks, and assuring that purge air flow is verified. The FS10i’s analog span is established by simply simulating low flow and high flow conditions under the setup mode. The 4-20mA output, though non-linear, will now track the flow over that range.
The FS10i Flow Switch/Monitor’s analog output is ideal for trending flows that can provide an early warning of clogged filters, pipe fitting leaks, wearing seals, pump problems and other causes of flow disruptions before system shutdown. This instrument’s capabilities are a highly useful tool in avoiding damage to expensive pumps and compressors and other equipment that can require extensive maintenance or replacement.
The FS10i is designed for simple insertion into 0.5-inch (13mm) or larger diameter pipes and square ducts. It is fast responding and highly repeatable to both increasing and decreasing changes in flow rate. This switch/monitor also includes a 10-LED array that provides both a useful visual indication that the trip point has been exceeded (LED flashes on/off) and of relative flow rate (10 percent increments) across the flow range.

The FS10i Flow Switch/Monitor provides best-in-class features for installation in rugged environments and for long-life in industrial plants, process and large buildings. Its flow sensor’s thermowells are constructed of highly corrosion resistant Hastelloy C-22. It operates in fluid temperatures up to 250°F/121°C, in pressures up to 2000 psi [138 bar] and also features IP protection rating to IP67 for its housing.
Designed for reliability and dependable measurement, the FS10i Flow/Switch Monitor is the only instrument of its type and in its price range to carry a SIL 2 compliance rating. It has no moving parts to clog or foul and requires no routine maintenance, which saves time and expense over any mechanical- technology based flow switch.
Fluid Components International is a global company committed to meeting the needs of its customers through innovative solutions to the most challenging requirements for sensing, measuring and controlling flow and level.

VEGA sensors with Bluetooth function are ideal for use in tall silos or tanks, in remote areas and even in Ex-hazardous areas. On-site operation is now even easier with PLICSCOM, the wind and weather proof adjustment tool: simply insert it into the instrument and snap it into place, then download the VEGA Tools app and get started! A magnetic pen allows contactless operation of the control keys right through the closed lid.
However, distances and challenging environments are just two of the challenges. A perfect relationship between process and measuring instrument begins at a much earlier stage. How resistant are the process sensors to interfering signals? How adaptable are they to the particular application? VEGAPULS 69 and 64 sensors with 80-GHz transmission frequency are proving their worth in bulk solid as well as liquid applications, even in media with poor reflective properties, in conveyance shafts up to 120 m deep and in silos with numerous internals generating strong false echoes. The compact design, with an antenna, is small enough to be mounted in the neck of a bottle, these sensors determine the level with high precision – right down to the bottom of any container.
