ULTRASONIC FLOWMETER 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 flowmeter in the natural gas marketplace.

Among its most outstanding features the following are noteworthy:

1. Rugged design without external wiring to the meter.

• Small-scale integrated processor unit, with volumetric counters incorporated.

• Compact in size, length of 3D. This length is the same as that of the traditional turbine meters, so it is directly replaceable without additional installation expense.

2. The only one on the market with straight beams between sensors, without using the beam reflection technique. In this way it is possible to minimize energy loss by using shorter paths.

• It uses 4 parallel beams to carry out the measurement in one plane thereby eliminate the influence of eddies in the flow caused by elbows and other sources of interference.

• High precision, better than 0.2%, with high pressure calibration.

• It has the highest measurement rangeability (Qmin to Qmax) on the market: better than 120 to 1.

• In the event of one of the beams failing, the meter continues to work with the same precision as with 4 beams, PTB certified, it only gives a beam failure warning.

• Certified connectivity with the main flow computers on the market.

3. The only ultrasonic meter manufacturer that produces his own transducers. The reduced size minimizes the influence of the flow on the profile, prevents fouling and improves meter precision.

• High performance transducers working at high frequency (205 kHz). Flowsic 600 is the only meter that can work at ambient pressure. .

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

5. Mepaflow 600 software permits a complete diagnosis of the meter to be carried out on the fly, delivering alarm messages in the event of deviations in key readings that identify problems in a sensor before failure occurs. It is connected by means of a Modbus output independent of the measuring pulses, and monitoring can be performed remotely.
