Product description
The FLOWSIC100 Flare product family is characterized by a unique flow-optimized sensor design.
This innovative design reduces flow noise and signal drift at very high gas velocities to a minimum. Modern signal processing and highly efficient transducers result in high time resolution of
the signal and, therefore, accurate measurement, even at very low gas flow rates.
The standard configuration of the system consists of two sender/receiver units or a measuring
probe and the MCUP control unit. The MCUP is used for signal input and output, to calculate reference values (standardization), molecular weight, and mass flow, and for the acquisition of gas
volume. It also serves as a user-friendly LCD interface.
At a glance
• High-resolution measurement and short response time
• Innovative sensor design for very high gas velocities
• Optimum signal transmission even under atmospheric pressure
• Remote installation of the control unit up to 1,000 m away
• Single and multiple path meter configuration, optional probe type
• Field repeatable check procedure of factory zero flow test
• Check cycle for automatic self-diagnosis / signal optimization
Your benefits
• Reliable process control by accurate measurement near to zero flow readings
• High measurement availability also under emergency plant operation conditions with high gas
velocities up to 120 m/s
• Cost saving by remote installation of control unit in safe area
• System solution to serve three different flare measurements with a single control unit
• Cost saving by minimized installation using single probe version FLOWSIC100 EX-PR
• Securing optimal meter performance by continuous monitoring of meter function and extended
field diagnostic capabilities
