SICK has launched a new ultrasonic gas meter dedicated to high-pressure applications in natural-gas distribution and midstream-measurement systems.
With the FLOWSIC550, SICK expands its portfolio and offers a suitable solution for small nominal diameters and compact installations in the high-pressure range. This is especially helpful at natural gas-distribution sites and transmission systems, per its maker, which adds that customers at town border stations and city gate stations will also find the FLOWSIC550 particularly helpful.
The FLOWSIC550 is a high-performance meter for operating pressures up to 1480 psi. It is a multi-path meter with integrated-flow conditioning, suitable for compact-meter stations. The FLOWSIC550 can be fully battery powered for up to five years and can be equipped with the optional volume-correction function.
SICK offers FLOWgate user software for a user-friendly and results-oriented solution for all lifecycle-management tasks of the FLOWSIC550. With its wizards for calibration, commissioning, and device diagnostics, it supports the (almost) maintenance-free operation of the gas-flow meter and can also be used to remotely monitor the meter, per SICK.
The device manager shows all registered devices and offers device grouping and a data-backup function. Thanks to the integrated database, you can access the stored data anytime—offline or online.
