E&H 8P3B Coriolis Mass flowmeter

The Definitive Guide: E&H 8P3B Coriolis Mass Flowmeter (Promass P 300) for Life Sciences

When processes demand absolute sterility and precision, standard instrumentation falls short. The E&H 8P3B Coriolis mass flowmeter, part of the Endress+Hauser Proline Promass P 300 series, is engineered specifically for the stringent requirements of the life sciences and biotech industries. This device combines a proven, drainable sensor design with a compact, easily accessible 一体式 (integral) transmitter, offering a seamless blend of performance and operational flexibility.

As a specialized supplier, ST-YUKE CO., LIMITED provides access to the full spectrum of 8P3B configurations. We assist engineers and procurement professionals in navigating the technical complexities to find the exact fit for skid-mounted, hygienic, and high-purity applications.

What is the E&H 8P3B Promass P 300?

The 8P3B is the core ordering structure for the Proline Promass P 300. It is a multivariable Coriolis flowmeter designed for sterile processes, capable of simultaneously measuring mass flow, density, temperature, and calculated values like volume flow and concentration . Its defining characteristic is the “compact, easily accessible transmitter,” which features a user-friendly interface and allows for single-sided access, simplifying installation in tight spaces on process skids.

Key Features & Compliance

Hygienic Certification: Fully compliant with ASME BPE, 3-A, and EHEDG standards, featuring low delta ferrite content for maximum corrosion resistance in clean-in-place (CIP) and sterilize-in-place (SIP) environments .

Superior Surface Finish: The measuring tube is constructed from stainless steel 1.4435 (316L) and features an electropolished finish to prevent bacterial adhesion.

Robust Design: Housed in a compact, hygienic dual-compartment enclosure with an IP69K rating, it withstands rigorous high-pressure, high-temperature washdown procedures.

Integrated Heartbeat Technology: Built-in diagnostics and verification allow for on-demand device testing and monitoring without process interruption, supporting compliance and predictive maintenance .
