Endress+Hauser Gas Measurement – Flowsic100 Flare XT

POWERFUL

CHANGING GAS COMPOSITION – NO ISSUES
Two ultrasonic transducers, which are installed at an angle to the gas flow, operate alternately as a transmitter and receiver. The signals transmitted through the gas accelerate in the direction of flow and decelerate against the direction of flow. The resulting difference in propagation (transit) times is used to determine the mean gas velocity. The cross-sectional area is then used to compute the actual volumetric flow rate - neither pressure nor temperature transmitters are necessary. The long measurement path is beneficial for accuracy compared to measurement at a single point.

RELIABLE

VIRTUALLY MAINTENANCE-FREE – FOR MAXIMIZED UPTIME
Some measurement principles, like thermal mass measurement, need clean gas to operate correctly. SICK’s ultrasonic technology can overcome fouling or contamination on the sensors by automatically boosting the signal. This optimizes maintenance intervals, maximizes measurement uptime and reduces operating costs.

RUGGED

SENSORS MADE TO LAST - WITHOUT RECALIBRATION
Thanks to advanced signal processing, the hermetically sealed high-performance ultrasonic sensor allows a very high resolution of the signals and measures reliably and accurately even at very low gas velocities close to zero.

FLOWSIC100 Flare-XT is also capable of performing measurements even under extreme conditions, with varying gas compositions and at high flow velocities. Developed specially for use with very high gas flows, measurement is also continuously available in the event of gas turbulence and emergency shutdown.
