The RHM 20 can measure ow rates up to 300 kg/
min (661 lb/min) with temperatures in excess of
350°C and pressures up to 392 bar. This model is
medium sized with true reliability for a versatile
solution, manufactured by GE’s Rheonik mass
owmeter experts.
Applications
• General control • Dosing • Mixing
• Batching • Injections • Filling
Features
• Suitable for pressure up to 392 bar
• Flow uncertainty down to 0.15%
• Density uncertainty down to 0.5%
• Repeatability better than 0.05%
• Unique torsion oscillator
• Typical measuring ranges from 3 to 300 kg/min
• Minimal ows as low as 2.25 kg/min
• Optimized solutions for batching operation
• Customization possible
• Hazardous Area Approvals (ATEX, CSA, ...)
Advantages
• Torsion oscillator design assures most stable and
basically drift free measurement and increased
signal to noise ratio
• Not sensitive to changes in pressure
• Longest life time and increased safety (low stress
in welds and increased wall thickness against
abrasion)
• No moving parts, practically no maintenance
• Removable connection manifold available

Pressure Rating RHM 20
The maximum pressure (pmax) of a sensor is determined by its weakest part. The weakest part can be the measuring
loops (pmax indicated below) or the construction type (pmax indicated in the Basic Order Code section, last page) or the
selected anges / ttings (for pmax please see respective standard).
