Overview

The FLOWSIC100 Flare product family is designed for flare gas and steam flow measurements. The product family is characterized by a unique flow-optimized sensor design. This innovative design minimizes flow-generated noise and signal drift when gas velocities are particularly high. Modern signal processing and high-efficiency transducers enable high time resolution for signals and thus deliver accurate measurements, even at extremely low gas flow rates.

The standard system configuration includes two sender/receiver units or one measuring probe and the MCUP control unit. The MCUP unit is used to input and output signals; to calculate reference values (normalization), molecular weight and mass flow; to record gas volumes; and to provide user-friendly control via the LCD display.

At a glance
  • High-resolution measurement and short response time
  • Innovative sensor design for very high gas velocities and gas temperatures up to 280 °C
  • Optimal signal transmission even under atmospheric pressure
  • Detached installation of the control unit up to 1,000 m away
  • Single and multi-path configuration, opt. Probe version
  • Zero point test in the field according to factory standard
  • Control cycle for automatic self-diagnosis / signal optimization
