SICK Flow-X is a digital flow solution for gas metering applications. The official product data sheet specifies use for custody gas metering with FLOWSIC600 gas meters, demanding natural gas and process gas applications, totals at base conditions for gas volume, mass and energy, and gas metering with advanced diagnostics on supported FLOWSIC600 configurations.
Flow-X is documented for natural gas, special gases and steam. The product family supports architectures including FLOWSIC600 2plex for advanced diagnostics and FLOWSIC600 Quatro for redundant gas metering.
Depending on the Flow-X variant, documented ambient temperature ranges are −40 °C to +75 °C for Flow-X/S and 0 °C to +60 °C for Flow-X/C, Flow-X/P and Flow-X/R. The system uses an 800 MHz CPU with 512 MB RAM and 1,024 MB flash memory, includes a real-time clock, watchdog functions and multi-stream capability, and provides a mechanical calibration protection switch.
Flow-X supports commonly used gas chromatographs and offers interfaces and protocols used in industrial gas metering systems. Documented functions include Modbus-capable integration, TCP/IP, PROFIBUS DP and MODBUS via RS485 where the applicable interface modules are fitted.
