Innovative measuring technologies Endress+Hauser takes pride in being one of the most innovative companies in the process automation industry. We currently hold approxi mately 7,800 patents and other intellectual property rights. About one-third of recent new patents are related to the IIoT, digital communi cations, diagnostics and electronics. We reinvest more than 7 percent of our revenues into R&D.

Up to 1600 USD per meter can be the annual maintenance cost for a mechanical flowmeter

Device diagnostics, verification, and monitoring

A range of our intelligent field devices feature Heartbeat Technology that increases plant availability and ensures high process safety with its unique integrated diagnostics, verification and monitoring capabilities. • Permanent instrument self-diagnosis provides an ongoing health check of your devices and processes • Verify that your devices are functioning prop erly anytime, anywhere and without process interruption • Heartbeat’s monitoring function provides detailed instrument and process data permit ting trend analysis, making predictive mainte nance possible • Netilion , our IIoT ecosystem and portfolio of intelligent apps, builds upon Heartbeat data to give you even greater insight and benefits

Cryogenic flow applications in an LNG liquefaction plant bring measurement challenges due to two-phase flow con ditions. Variations in temperature and pressure drop result in vaporization and entrained gas that cause under- or over-reading or stops the measurement altogether. Our in novative Coriolis mass flowmeters offer a unique solution for entrained gas applications. Patented multi-frequency technology ensures reliable and continuous measurement, real time data and high availability. Precision flow measurement for entrained gas applications

• High precision measurement of density, mass and volume flow even in the presence of entrained gas • LNG Custody transfer approvals OIML R117 and MI-005 • No maintenance and compact design enabling installa tion flexibility
