FLOWSIC550 Flow Meter

Brand: Sick AG
CSA CSA CRNs Available CRNs Available
Hydrogen Compatible Hydrogen Compatible
State-of-the-art technology for maximum measurement accuracy: 

The new FLOWSIC550 ultrasonic compact gas flow meter from SICK ensures highly accurate billing of low volume flows in high-pressure networks – a perfect complement to the FLOWSIC500. 

Thanks to the absence of mechanical moving parts, the FLOWSIC550 is rugged, reliable, and maintenance-free – allowing for a significant reduction in operating costs. It is overload-proof, accurate and is monitored by an intelligent diagnostics system. 

FLOWSIC550 can be easily integrated into existing measuring stations. 

FLOWSIC550 works either in mains operation or is self-sufficient in terms of energy. When used in transfer and measuring stations, FLOWSIC550 ensures a continuous and blockage-free gas supply.
Features
  • Rugged and time-proven ultrasound technology
  • Diagnostics and permanent operational self-monitoring
  • Durable and reliable without moving parts
  • Compact meter installations
  • Integrated volume correction
  • Battery or intrinsically safe power supply
  • Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)
Benefits
  • Ultimate measurement certainty and safety of continuous gas supply
  • Simple installation, replacement of turbine gas meters
  • Reduction of installation costs due to integrated volume correction
  • Easy Commissioning and data reading via FLOWgateTM (PC and App)
  • Minimal operating costs due to being nearly maintenance-free
  • Reliable even when the gas flow fluctuates (on/off applications)
  • Self-sufficient operation possible
