High-pressure gas flowmeter for natural gas distribution
The Flowsic550 ultrasonic gas flowmeter (photo) expands this company’s portfolio, offering a suitable solution for small nominal diameters and compact installations in the high-pressure range. This is especially helpful at natural-gas-distribution sites and transmission systems. With the use of ultrasound technology and the absence of mechanical components, the Flowsic550 is said to offer clear cost advantages over conventional turbine and rotary-displacement meters. When utilized in transfer and measuring stations, Flowsic550 ensures a continuous and blockage-free gas supply. The device handles an operating pressure up to 1,480 psi. It is a multi-path meter with integrated flow conditioning, suitable for compact meter stations. It is not only easy to install, but is also compatible with turbine gas meters. Therefore, it can easily be integrated into most existing compact measuring installations. — SICK, Inc., Houston
