ULTRASONIC FLOW METER FOR NATURAL GAS FLOWSIC 600

APLEIN INGENIEROS S.A. has signed a collaboration agreement with SICK OPTIC ELECTRONIC, S.A. for the distribution of the FLOWSIC 600 ultrasonic flow meter in the natural gas market.

Among its most outstanding features are the following:

1.- Rugged design without wiring external to the meter.

- Reduced-size integrated processor unit, with volumetric counters incorporated.

- Compact, 3D lengthwise. This length is the same as that of the traditional windmill counters so it is directly replaceable at no additional installation expense.


2.- The only one on the market with straight beams between sensors, without using beam-reflection practice. In this way energy loss is minimized by using shorter paths.

- It uses 4 parallel beams and takes the measurement in one plane thereby eliminating the eddy effects in the flow caused by elbows and other interfering elements.

- High precision, better than 0.2%.

- It has the highest measurement rangeability (Qmin to Qmax) on the market: better than 100 to 1.

3.- The only ultrasonic meter manufacturer making its own transducers. Their small size has minimal influence in the flow profile, avoiding fouling and improving meter accuracy.

- A high performance, high frequency transducer (205 kHz), Flowsic 600 is the only meter that can work at ambient pressure.




4.- High immunity to noise produced by pressure regulators, thanks to the straight beam technique, efficient design technology and sensor frequency of 205 kHz.


5.- Mepaflow 600 software allows a complete diagnosis to be carried out of the meter in operation, emitting alarm messages in the event of deviations in key readings which identify problems in a sensor before the failure occurs. It is connected via a Modbus output independent of the metering pulses, and remote monitoring is possible.
