E&H 8C5B Coriolis Mass flowmeter

Complete Technical Guide to ENDRESS + HAUSER 8C5B C500: Remote-Transmitter Ultra-Compact Coriolis Mass Flowmeter

In the demanding world of precision micro-flow measurement, the Endress+Hauser Proline Cubemass C 500 series (model 8C5B) represents the definitive solution for applications requiring maximum installation flexibility. This ultra-compact Coriolis mass flowmeter features an innovative remote transmitter design that separates the sensor from the electronics, enabling installation in tight spaces, high-vibration areas, or hazardous environments while maintaining easy access to the display and controls . As a specialized supplier, ST-YUKE CO., LIMITED offers the full spectrum of the E&H 8C5B Coriolis mass flowmeter configurations to meet your exact application needs.

What is the E&H 8C5B Coriolis Mass Flowmeter?

The Promass 8C5B is an ultra-compact, sensor-dedicated Coriolis flowmeter from Endress+Hauser, belonging to the Cubemass C 500 family. Its defining feature is the remote transmitter version with up to 4 I/Os that allows the sensor and transmitter to be separated by a standard cable, providing unparalleled installation flexibility and operational safety in demanding environments. The measuring principle operates independently of physical fluid properties such as viscosity or density, ensuring accurate measurement unaffected by high pressure or alternating flow conditions. It delivers multivariable measurement—capturing mass flow, density, and temperature simultaneously—with Heartbeat Technology for onboard verification and compliance

E&H 8C5B Series Overview

The 8C5B series is categorized into four sensor sizes to cover a complete spectrum of low-flow applications from micro dosing to small-volume batching :

E&H 8C5B01 (DN1, ¹⁄₂₄”): Designed for ultra-low flow rates, ideal for laboratory applications, pilot plants, and additive processes requiring measurement of just a few grams per hour .

E&H 8C5B02 (DN2, ¹⁄₁₂”): Engineered for low-flow applications requiring high accuracy in chemical injection, batching, and control processes .

E&H 8C5B04 (DN4, ⅛”): A compact mid-range variant for flow rates up to 1000 kg/h while maintaining the ultra-compact form factor.

E&H 8C5B06 (DN6, ¼”): Extended range variant for higher low-flow applications up to 1000 kg/h with enhanced pressure handling .
