Comprehensive E&H 5W3B Model Variants

The versatility of the E&H 5W3B electromagnetic flowmeter is reflected in its extensive range of model numbers, which denote specific nominal diameters (DN) and connection types. Below is a list of common variants available through ST-YUKE CO., LIMITED, covering everything from small processing lines to primary water distribution networks -3.

Decoding the E&H 5W3B Ordering Code: A Detailed Example

To illustrate the immense configurability of the E&H 5W3B electromagnetic flowmeter, let us break down a specific, complex product code: 5W3B25-BBEDBAAAAAAUA1KHAA2+AA .

Position 1-6: The Base Model

5W3B25: This identifies the device as a Proline Promag W 300 with a nominal diameter of DN25 (1″) .

Position 7-8: Approval Type

B: This typically signifies the device is certified for use in non-hazardous areas (Standard version).

Position 9-11: Sensor Design / Connection Type

BED: This section details the sensor mechanics.

B: Fixed flange design (as opposed to lap-joint).

E: The liner material is PTFE.

D: The electrode material is 1.4435 (316L) stainless steel.

Position 12-15: Transmitter / Electronics

BAAA: These positions cover the basic transmitter configuration. This includes power supply (e.g., 100-230V AC / 24V DC) and basic operation settings, often defaulting to a standard configuration without enhanced safety options .

Position 16-24: I/O Functionality, Display, and Housing

AAUA1KH: This is the “brain” of the device setup.

A: Output 1 is pre-configured as 4-20mA HART.

A: Output 2 is not equipped.

U: Output 3 is not equipped.

A1K: Display and Operation. This code specifies a 4-line, backlit, illuminated display with touch control. The “1K” may denote the specific language or firmware package (e.g., standard English). Some configurations include “WLAN” for wireless access

Position 25-27: Sensor Options / Calibration

AA2: This part covers calibration and sensor options.

AA: Standard calibration flow (0.5% accuracy).

2: This usually refers to a specific device model or sensor option variant, often indicating standard features without specialized customizations.

Position 28-??: Accessories & Tags (Separated by +)

+AA: This suffix indicates additional services or accessories. In this case, it likely denotes standard tagging, such as a stainless steel tag attached to the device for identification -1.
