The C 200 is a carbon steel vortex flow meter designed for the Canadian and US markets. The carbon steel sensor has a higher resistance to intergranular stress corrosion cracking, making it particularly suitable for steam systems in SAGD applications. The Prowirl C 200 only offers cCSAus hazardous area certification. There is no CE certification, AD2000 certification, or PED certification. It is available in either integrated or separate instrument configurations.

Here are the key features of the Endress+Hauser Proline Prowirl C 200 vortex flowmeter:

Multivariable Measurement: Simultaneously measures volume flow, mass flow, temperature, and corrected volume—ideal for steam, gas, and liquid applications.

Integrated Pressure & Temperature Sensors: Enables real-time compensation for accurate mass and energy flow calculations.

Heartbeat Technology: Built-in diagnostics and verification ensure continuous process safety and reduce the need for manual calibration.

Robust Design: Carbon steel sensor body and dual-compartment housing provide durability in utility environments.

Flexible Communication: Supports HART, PROFIBUS PA, and FOUNDATION Fieldbus for seamless integration into control systems.

Compact & Cost-Effective: Designed for utility applications where space and budget are limited, without compromising on performance.

SIL and Hazardous Area Approvals: Certified for use in safety-critical and explosive environments.
　　

Frequently Asked Questions – Prowirl C 200

1. What media can the C 200 measure? 

It’s suitable for gases, steam, and liquids, making it versatile for utility and energy monitoring applications.

2. Does it support mass flow measurement? 

Yes—when combined with integrated temperature and pressure sensors, it calculates compensated mass and energy flow, especially useful for steam and gas.

3. What is Heartbeat Technology? 

It’s a built-in diagnostic and verification system that continuously monitors device health and process conditions without interrupting operations.

4. Is it SIL certified? 

Yes, the C 200 supports SIL 2/3 safety integrity levels, making it suitable for safety-critical applications.

5. What communication protocols are available? 

It supports HART, PROFIBUS PA, and FOUNDATION Fieldbus, ensuring seamless integration into most control systems.

6. What’s the difference between the C 200 and other Prowirl models like F 200 or O 200? 

The C 200 is optimized for cost-effective utility applications with a carbon steel sensor, while the F 200 and O 200 offer higher-end materials, wet steam detection, and broader temperature/pressure ranges.

7. Can it detect wet steam? 

No, wet steam detection is a feature of the Prowirl F 200. The C 200 focuses on basic vortex measurement with optional compensation.

8. What’s the installation orientation? 

It can be installed horizontally or vertically, depending on the medium and flow direction. Proper orientation ensures accurate vortex shedding.

9. Is it maintenance-intensive? 

Not at all. With no moving parts and capacitive sensing, it’s designed for long-term stability and low maintenance.

10. Can I verify the meter without removing it from service? 

Yes—Heartbeat Technology allows in-situ verification, reducing downtime and calibration costs.
