It is particularly suited for natural gas and process gases in the chemical industry, offering high accuracy and reliability under challenging environmental conditions.
Key Features
  • Durability: Hermetically sealed to protect against harsh climates and contamination, making it virtually maintenance-free.
  • Accuracy: Utilizes ultrasonic technology with a path layout for high measurement accuracy and noise immunity.
  • Reliability: Operates without mechanically moving parts, enhancing resistance to contamination and wear.
  • Integration: Compatible with various pipe sizes and integrates easily with flow computers and other measurement station components.
  • Approvals: Conforms to global natural gas guidelines and has worldwide approval.
  • Power Efficiency: Low power consumption allows for the use of stand-alone power supplies like solar modules.
Measurement Technology
The FLOWSIC600 employs ultrasonic sensors developed by SICK, capable of operating at various frequencies to match specific conditions. It can handle extreme temperatures, high pressures, and corrosive environments, maintaining reliability even in sound-absorbing gases.
Design and Functionality
  • Direct Path Layout: Minimizes turbulence and noise impact, using ultrasonic transit time to measure gas flow rate.
  • Self-Diagnostics: Features automatic diagnostics to alert users of malfunctions before they affect measurements, with results logged for retroactive checks.
  • Software: MEPAFLOW600 CBM software provides efficient meter management and diagnostics, offering both online and offline access.
Applications
  • Custody transfer for natural gas, N2, O2, air, ethylene.
  • Onshore and offshore applications, including cryogenic gas applications.
  • Suitable for gases with high H2S content like sour gas or biogas.
Technical Specifications
  • Measurement Principle: Ultrasonic transit time difference.
  • Measuring Medium: Natural gas, air, C2H4, steam, process gases, sour gas, biogas.
  • Accuracy: Varies by version, with error limits as low as ±0.1% after calibration.
  • Operating Conditions: Temperature range from -194°C to +280°C, pressure up to 450 bar.
  • Conformities: Meets standards like AGA-Report No. 9, API 21.1, OIML R137-1, ISO 17089-1.

FLOWSIC600 Gas Flow Meter-2

INVESTING IN A HIGH-QUALITY METER SAVES MONEY Every day natural gas flows in great quantities through pipelines or into storage facilities, thus changing owners. Precise gas quantity measurement is of the utmost importance, as even very small measurement errors could result in substantial economic loss. In addition, challenging ambient measurement conditions often play a decisive role. Moisture, ice, cold, heat and desert sand place great demands on the instruments in the field. This is why a gas flow meter is needed that is both accurate and reliable. The FLOWSIC600 gas flow meter from SICK...

FLOWSIC600 Gas Flow Meter-5

Automatic Self-Diagnostics The FLOWSIC600 is equipped with a warning signal that informs the user of a malfunction before the measured value is affected. To do this, current diagnostic indicators are compared to indicators that were learned by the device under normal measurement conditions. The results of the self-diagnostics are permanently logged by an internal electronic data log to allow a retroactive check of the measurement process. Important measured variables such as gas flow and gas velocity (VOG) or diagnostic parameters such as signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) or speed can be read directly....
