How to use this Selection Guide
Selecting the measuring principle (1–4)
Example
1 Define all the primary requirements for your measuring
point: fluid type, nominal diameter, accuracy, pressure, • Pipe diameter: DN 2200 (88")
temperature, etc. • Max. measuring uncertainty: <0.3% o.r.
• Measured variable: Volume flow
• Liquids in general
3 In this table, specify all the requirements you defined
• Volume flow
for your measuring point. • Pipe diameter: DN > 500 (20")
• Electromagnetic
4 Now select the measuring principles to which all the
• Ultrasonic
requirements apply (•). • Differential pressure

W@M – Life Cycle Management
Optimal business processes – lifelong
All through a production facility’s long life span, data on
actuators and sensors is constantly being generated. It starts
with the sizing and procurement of components, goes on
through installation and set-up, to continue uninterrupted
throughout operation and maintenance. For this reason, infor-
mation, complete and instantly available, is the key to success
in operating any production plant. W@M from Endress+Hauser
is an intelligent information platform designed to support you
end-to-end throughout your facility’s entire life cycle:

Fast planning and dependable sizing
The first steps are always the most important when it comes to
planning metering points. An optimally dimensioned meter at Selection Sizing Configuration
the right location will invariably save time and money in the long
run. Applicator is a proven selection and sizing program from
Endress+Hauser. Applicator is built around 25 years of industry Selection and sizing
experience and expert knowledge: • Selective check of requirements: approvals and certificates
(industry-specific); metering task, measured variables, type of
• Straightforward, dependable sizing of measuring points; fluid, process data, etc. (application-oriented); communication
no specialist skills necessary (interfaces)
• 600-plus meters selectable: flow, level, pressure, • Automatic proposal of best-fit meters and solutions
temperature, energy, etc. • Display and computation of important parameters: optimum
• Menu-driven user interface with user information and line size, pressure loss, accuracy, material load, compliance
warnings with Pressure Equipment Directive, corrosion resistance, etc.
• Language versions: English, German, French, Spanish, Russian, • Viewing/printing of results in tabular or graph form
Chinese and Japanese • Comprehensive databases that include more than 400 fluids
• Direct generation of order codes using the Product
Configurator
• Cost-saving administration and documentation of plant
projects with the Project Module
