Customer would like to fill pint size milk cartons 100 grams in .5 seconds. Is this possible?

It would require a 1500 filling transmitter with a CMFS sensor. May want to run this by Chuch Gray.

Mark is right. We likely need to go with CMFS since this is probably a 3A application. H25 may be required as I suspect presssure drop on a CMFS15 would be high. Do check with Chuck Gray on the half second fill though. This is pretty fast and precision, repeatable valving/system will be needed.

This should be achievable. I have worked with customers on filling applications where the batches were faster than 0.5 seconds. But as John mentioned, once you get down to this short of a duration, other process design factors (piping layout, pressure, valve speed, etc) are very important.

I would suggest using a very fast pulse output transmitter such as the Micro Motion 2400SA in this application together with a good high speed counter card in the PLC. The (H) sensor needs to be appropriately sized for the fill; an H 050 would probabaly be correct. (assume water density & you have just shy of a kg/sec flow rate). John Martin's comments certainly apply regarding 3A and good, repeatable valving.

We have make test with a filling customer that shows 0,75 sec fills within a accuracy von about 0,3 % over 15 runs.
We use the new filling Transmitter with Profibus DP.
