The cutting-edge technology for ultimate measurement accuracy: The new FLOWSIC500 ultrasonic compact gas meter from SICK enables highly accurate metering in natural gas distribution. In absence of mechanical moving parts, the FLOWSIC500 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. Recalibration is simple and straightforward by replacing the cartridge. FLOWSIC500 can easily be integrated into existing measuring stations. The FLOWSIC500 operates either in an energy self-sufficient configuration or failsafe in network operation with battery back-up. It complies with all relevant standards and regulations. When utilized in transfer and measuring stations, FLOWSIC500 ensures the safety of a continuous and blockage-free gas supply.
