What is the E&H 8S3B Coriolis Mass Flowmeter?

The Promass 8S3B is an ultra-compact, sensor-dedicated Coriolis flowmeter from Endress+Hauser, belonging to the Promass S 300 family. Its defining feature is the hygienic design with a self-drainable single-tube system, specifically optimized for applications requiring the best possible cleaning capabilities in the food and beverage industry . Combined with an integral transmitter featuring a dual-compartment housing, it offers single-sided access for wiring, making installation in space-constrained panels or skids remarkably simple. The measuring principle operates independently of physical fluid properties such as viscosity or density, ensuring accurate measurement unaffected by changing process conditions. It delivers multivariable measurement—capturing mass flow, density, and temperature simultaneously—with Heartbeat Technology for onboard verification and compliance without process interruption.

Key Benefits for Hygienic Applications

The E&H 8S3B Coriolis mass flowmeter offers distinct advantages for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical processing:

Hygienic Design Excellence: Self-drainable single-tube system prevents product accumulation and enables thorough cleaning, meeting 3-A and EHEDG standards. The design is specifically optimized for applications requiring the best possible cleaning capabilities .

CIP/SIP Compatibility: Fast recovery from Clean-in-Place and Sterilize-in-Place cycles minimizes downtime between batches, with the robust sensor design able to withstand repeated thermal cycling.

Space-Saving Installation: The dual-compartment housing with single-sided access for wiring allows installation in tight panels and skids, delivering full functionality on the smallest footprint .

High Ingress Protection: IP66/67 and Type 4X enclosure rating ensures reliable operation during high-pressure washdown procedures.

Advanced Connectivity: Multiple digital communication options (PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, Modbus RS485) enable seamless integration into modern plant automation architectures .

Reduced Process Measuring Points: Multivariable measurement (flow, density, temperature) eliminates the need for additional instruments in hygienic processes.

Integrated Verification: Heartbeat Technology enables onboard diagnostics and compliance verification without process interruption, reducing maintenance downtime and supporting FDA validation requirements.Hygienic Process Connections

The 8S3B series supports a wide range of hygienic process connections to suit various industry standards:

Tri-Clamp (ISO 2852): Most common for food and beverage applications, easy to disassemble for cleaning

DIN 11851: Dairy standard connection with union nut

SMS 1145: Swedish dairy standard

DRD/Flanges: For aseptic applications requiring flush-mounted diaphragms

Varinline: For space-constrained installations with welded housingsInstallation Guidelines for 8S3B Series

To ensure optimal performance of your E&H 8S3B Coriolis mass flowmeter in hygienic applications, consider the following installation recommendations :

Installation Position: To prevent measuring errors from gas bubble accumulation, avoid mounting at the highest point of a pipeline or directly before a free pipe outlet in a down pipe.

Orientation: The direction of the arrow on the sensor nameplate indicates flow direction. The sensor can be installed in any orientation, but vertical installation with upward flow is recommended for self-draining applications.

Thermal Insulation: For fluids requiring temperature maintenance, insulation materials can be used up to the connection housing. The maximum permitted insulation height is specified in the Technical Documentation.

Heating Options: For fluids requiring heat loss prevention, electrical heating (e.g., electric band heaters) or thermal insulation can be used.

Zero Adjustment: All measuring instruments are calibrated under reference conditions. Generally, zero adjustment in the field is not required unless operating conditions significantly deviate from reference conditions.
