Overview
The L-Cor 8500 high-pressure Coriolis flow meter offers the best all-in-one solution for flow measurement of ultra-high-pressure fluids. With expert guidance and dedicated support, Anton Paar helps you find the perfect fit for your process and supports you throughout the entire product lifetime.
Engineered for Extremes
Anton Paar’s ultra-high-pressure Coriolis flow meter is built to withstand even the toughest environments, handling maximum process pressures of up to 1,200 bar (17,405 psi). The sensor is built with embrittlement-resistant alloys, making it ideal for super-high-pressure applications such as hydrogen dispensing and chemical injection for the oil and gas industry. Our experts start by understanding your process to help you choose the right solution for your environment.
Reliable Flow Monitoring of Liquefied Gases
The L-Cor 8500 ultra-high-pressure Coriolis flow meter delivers precise flow measurement of liquid gases such as H₂ or N₂. It measures true mass flow, unaffected by gas compressibility, and delivers high accuracy independent of gas type, temperature, or process pressure. The sensor ensures consistent and highly accurate results under demanding conditions, enabling tight process control for ultra-high-pressure applications.
Safe under the Harshest Conditions
Our high-pressure Coriolis flow meter is designed for durability and long service life, even in chemically aggressive environments. A range of wetted material options, including stainless steel and Alloy C-22, ensures maximum compatibility with your process media, especially in demanding applications where corrosion resistance and chemical stability are essential.
