FLOWSIC300
Non-custody transfer measurement and process monitoring
Overview
Product Description
The FLOWSIC300 ultrasonic flowmeter features a unique combination of high quality components, large measuring range, simple installation, and low installation costs. It can be used anywhere where custody approval is not required: For internal measurements in the natural gas grid and with process measurements in the petrochemical industry. FLOWSIC300 incorporates proven technology and components of the rugged custody transfer quality gas flowmeters for custody transfer.
Key Benefits
- Simple installation into existing pipelines
- Efficient solution, especially for pipe diameters over 12 inches, thanks to installation onto existing pipelines and without need for a meter body
- Reduced acquisition costs – the sensor extraction tool can be used for multiple devices
- Low maintenance, wear and no deterioration
- Low operating costs thanks to automated diagnostics and condition-based maintenance
- Suitable for installation in underground compartments via remote electronics and sensors with enclosure rating IP 68
