FLOWSIC500 Gas flow meters-2

ULTIMATE MEASUREMENT CERTAINTY. FOR MUNICIPAL GAS SUPPLIERS AND INDUSTRIAL CONSUMERS Local authorities purchase natural gas and sell it to users such as power stations, primary industries, and other industrial consumers. Because considerable volumes of gas are involved, the input and output measurement should be precise, but above all, reliable in the long term. Conventional mechanical gas meters are very difficult to monitor. On top of that, they require costly maintenance and are not as easy to handle. Now, the FLOWSIC500, the world’s first ultrasonic gas meter for the natural gas distribution...

High level of measurement certainty Increased measurement reliability Easy handling Compact design Suitable for demanding applications Power supply: No problem With the FLOWSIC500, no part of the measurement device interferes with the gas flow. Therefore, it can be used in applications where a continuous gas supply is vital, for example in hospitals. FLOWSIC500 measures fail-safe in intrinsically safe line powered operation with battery back-up. Alternatively, the meter operates by battery as an energy self-sufficient configuration for a period of at least five years. Exact replacement fitting...

A GAS METER AND VOLUME CORRECTOR IN ONE – SIMPLE, CONVENIENT, RELIABLE. MORE THAN JUST ONE OPTION. Why use two devices for one task? Gas flow measurement and volume correction have the same goal: providing a precise measurement of the quantity of gas supplied. It makes sense to combine both into one device saving on installation costs and reducing the number of interfaces. Everything is conveniently available from a single source, with the same end result: precise and reliable measurement of the gas quantity in line with recognized, approved processes. Volume correction in line with MID Simple...
