FLOWSIC100 EX-PR Probe version

Product deScrIPtIon The FLOWSIC100 Flare standard version contains two FLSE100 sender/receiver units (SR units) and a MCUP control unit (process version). The MCUP is used for signal inputs/outputs, determining reference values (standardization) as well as calculating molecular weight, mass flow or storage of gas volume. Optionally the MCUP is applicable in hazardous areas. The SOPAS software provides access to all parameters and contains graphical display of measured values, trend curves and stores all parameter changes and measurement events in an integrated log book. Installation of the sender/receiver units Cross-duct installation: two sender/receiver units are mounted on both sides of a duct rectangular to the gas flow direction (type FLSE100 EX-S). One-side installation: Only one single sender/receiver unit (probe version) is mounted at a specific angle to the gas flow. Both ultrasonic transducers are installed on the probe with a fixed measuring path. No specific alignment between ultrasonic transducers needed. unIQue HIGH SPeed SenSor d e S I G n ( P at e n t P e n d I n G ) For the FLOWSIC100 Flare an innovative sensor design was developed. The ultrasonic transducer is embedded in a flow optimized sensor shape special qualified for high speed gas flow conditions. The unique design reduces flow noise and signal drift to a minimum and enables stable and reliable measurement results at very high gas velocities. A optimized 2-stage signal algorithm ensures best signal processing under low flow as well as and under high flow conditions. Optional components MCUP control unit for use in Ex zone 1 + 2 (ATEX certification) and Cl I, Div2/Zone 2 Spool piece version also complete with p and T transmitters
