Description
High-pressure gas flow meter for natural gas distribution
The cutting-edge technology for natural gas measurement: The new FLOWSIC550 ultrasonic compact gas meter from Endress+Hauser ensures highly accurate metering for low volumes at high pressures in gas distribution - a perfect addition to FLOWSIC500. In the absence of mechanical moving parts, the FLOWSIC550 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 diagnostics system.
FLOWSIC550 can easily be integrated into existing measuring stations. The FLOWSIC550 operates either in an energy self-sufficient configuration or in network operation. When utilized in transfer and measuring stations, FLOWSIC550 ensures a continuous and blockage-free gas supply.
