The latest technology for the ultimate in measurement accuracy: The FLOWSIC500 ultrasonic compact gas meter from SICK enables extremely accurate natural gas distribution measurement. Thanks to its lack of mechanical moving parts, the FLOWSIC500 is rugged, reliable, and maintenance-free – allowing for a significant reduction in operating costs. It is overload-proof, accurate and is monitored by an intelligent diagnostics system. Recalibration is extremely straightforward, as it is simply a matter of exchanging the cartridge. The FLOWSIC500 can easily be integrated into existing measuring stations. It operates either in a self-sufficient energy configuration or in failsafe network operation with battery back-up. It complies with all pertinent standards and directives. When used in transfer stations and measuring stations, the FLOWSIC500 provides the security of a continuous and blockage-free gas supply.
1. Cutting-edge technology: ultrasound
2. Diagnostics and permanent operational check
3. Rugged and reliable due to lack of moving parts
4. Exchangeable cartridge
5. Straight inlet/outlet zone not required
6. Overload-proof
7. Optional integrated flow conversion / date registration
8. Battery or intrinsically safe power supply
Thanks to PowerIn Technology™, the FLOWSIC500 performs fail-safe measurements in intrinsically safe line powered operation with battery back-up. Alternatively, the gas flow meter operates by battery as an energy self-sufficient configuration for a period of at least five years.
