FLOWSIC500

Ultrasonic Gas Meter

Custody transfer measurement in natural gas distribution P r O d U C t I n F O r M a t I O n

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. It is impossible to monitor them appropriately. 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 market, changes all that. FLOWSIC500 comes from SICK, one of the leading German sensor specialists.

Meter size 50 mm (2")

?FLOWSIC500 is available in four meter sizes, all fitting to

the common flange-to-flange dimensions used in natural

gas distribution. Following meter sizes are available:

DN50, DN80, DN100 and DN150 (2", 3", 4" and 6").

?The electrical connections for the transfer of measure-

ment data and power supply are easily accessible

and can be installed in just a few steps. Removing the

c artridge requires just loosening of a few screws.

?It is possible to install the gas meter horizontally or

v ertically. The display can be rotated for easier reading

of metering data.

?The most important functions of the measurement

device can be accessed directly from the display

u sing the key pad. User-friendly software supports the

FLOWSIC500 via an optical interface.

FLOWSIC500

Meter size 80 mm (3")Meter size 100 mm (4")Meter size 150 mm (6") Compact design

FLOWSIC500 operates without straight

inlet or outlet piping requirements. It

can be equipped with an integrated

volume corrector. Thus, the FLOWSIC500

requires considerably less space than

conventional gas meters.

Power supply: No problem

FLOWSIC500 measures fail-safe in

intrinsically safe network operation with

battery back-up. Alternatively, the meter

operates by battery as an energy self-

sufficient configuration for a period of up

to ten years.

Suitable for demanding applications

With the FLOWSIC500, no part of the

measurement device interferes with

the gas flow. Therefore, it can be used

in a pplications where a continuous gas

supply is vital, for example in hospitals.

High level of measurement certainty

FLOWSIC500 measures the gas flow

with ultrasonic technology. It operates

with no mechanical moving parts, and is

not liable to wear. This provides stable

measurement certainty in the long term.

SICK developed ultrasonic t ransducers

especially for the FLOWSIC500, which

are not sensitive to interferences.

FLOWSIC500: ideal for fiscal metering.

Increased measurement accuracy

through self-diagnostics

The intelligent self-diagnostics immedi-

ately detects changes in measurement

conditions that might prevent the gas

meter from achieving the specified

a ccuracy. FLOWSIC500 incorporates an

early warning system that provides an

unprecedented level of measurement

accuracy and measurement certainty for

natural gas distribution.

Easy handling

FLOWSIC500 is more straightforward

than conventional gas meters. Due to

its exceptional design, the recalibration

procedure on-site is much easier and

quicker. The measuring components are

installed in a cartridge, which is replaced

in only a few steps.

Exact replacement fitting

FLOWSIC500 is designed to mount easily

where a conventional gas meter has

been in place.

Insensitive to overload

FLOWSIC500 does not get harmed by

overloading. It processes dynamic load

changes without any loss in accuracy.

Approved worldwide

FLOWSIC500 complies with all relevant

standards and regulations for natural

gas distribution. This also includes the

international requirements for explosion-

proof areas.

Product description

The cutting-edge technology for ulti-mate measurement accuracy: The new FLOWSIC500 ultrasonic compact gas meter from SICK enables highly accurate metering in natural gas distribution. In absence of mechanical moving parts, the FLOWSIC500 is a robust, fail-safe and low-maintenance device – allowing for a significant reduction in operating costs. It is overload-proof, accurate and is monitored by an intelligent diagnos -tics system. Recalibration is simple

and straightforward by replacing the cartridge. FLOWSIC500 can easily be integrated into existing measuring sta -tions. The FLOWSIC500 operates either in an energy self-sufficient configura-tion or failsafe in network operation with battery back-up. It complies with all relevant standards and regulations. When utilized in transfer and measur -ing stations, FLOWSIC500 ensures the safety of a continuous and blockage-free gas supply.
