Custody transfer measurement in natural gas distribution
 
The cutting-edge technology for the ultimate in measurement accuracy: The FLOWSIC500 ultrasonic compact gas meter from Endress+Hauser ensures highly accurate metering in natural gas distribution. In the absence of mechanical moving parts, the FLOWSIC500 is a rugged, reliable, and low-maintenance device, allowing for a significant reduction in operating costs. It is overload-proof, accurate, and monitored by an intelligent diagnostics system.
 
The modern interfaces and the option of wireless communication make it easy to integrate into remote data management systems. Continuous monitoring provides a transparent picture of the current device status as well as changes in the gas quality. When used in transfer stations and measuring stations, the FLOWSIC500 provides the security of a continuous and blockage-free gas supply.
 
Extremely accurate natural gas measurement
The latest technology for the ultimate in measurement accuracy: The FLOWSIC500 ultrasonic compact gas meter 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 monitored by an intelligent diagnostics system. Recalibration is extremely straightforward, as it is simply a matter of exchanging the cartridge. 
 
Easily integrates into existing measuring stations
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 backup. 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.
 
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, providing stable measurement certainty in the long term. Their ultrasonic transducers were especially for the FLOWSIC500, which are not sensitive to interferences. Ideal for fiscal metering.

Increased measurement reliability
FLOWSIC500 is self-monitoring; in the event of an issue, such as a change in electronics performance or contamination, the meter will generate an alarm, meaning there is no need for maintenance on a timed basis, therefore resulting in reduced cost of ownership.
 
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.
 
Compact design
FLOWSIC500 operates without straight inlet or outlet piping requirements. It can be equipped with an integrated volume corrector, thus requiring considerably less space than conventional gas meters.
 
Suitable for demanding applications
With the FLOWSIC500, no part of the measurement device interferes with the gas flow enabling it to be used in applications where a continuous gas supply is vital, for example, in hospitals.
 
Power supply: No problem
Due to PowerIn TechnologyTM, FLOWSIC500 measures fail-safe in intrinsically safe line-powered operation with battery back-up. Alternatively, the meter operates by battery as an energy self-sufficient configuration for a period of at least five years.
 
Insensitive to overload
FLOWSIC500 does not get harmed by overloading as it processes dynamic load changes without no loss in accuracy.
 
Exact replacement fitting
FLOWSIC500 is designed to replace and mount easily where a conventional gas meter has been in place.
 
Approved worldwide
FLOWSIC500 complies with all relevant standards and regulations for natural gas distribution. This also includes the international requirements for explosion-proof areas.
