2 Product Description
2.1 Features and Applications
The FLOWSIC100 measuring system conducts simultaneous measurements of the gas
velocity and temperature. The volumetric flow under actual conditions can be calculated
from the gas velocity and output. By including the gas temperature and internal pressure
inside the duct, the volumetric flow under standard conditions can be calculated.
Features and benefits
• Modular design
By selecting the right modules, you can combine the components to suit your application
and fulfill a wide range of requirements. As a result, the FLOWSIC100 can be used for
very many applications.
• Integrated measurement of the gas velocity across the duct diameter, independent of
the pressure, temperature, and gas composition
• Digital processing of the measurement values ensures high accuracy and low
susceptibility to interference
• Self-test by means of automatic check cycle
• No pressure-reducing fittings in the gas flow, which ensures that the gas flow is not
disrupted
• Easy to install
• Low wear and tear by selecting the most suitable modules for the application
• Minimum maintenance requirements
Applications
The measuring devices in the FLOWSIC100 series can be used to measure gas flows in
pipelines, flue-gas and exhaust-gas ducts, and chimneys. If configured accordingly, the
devices can measure the flow rate in both pure gases and in raw gases upstream of filter
installations. As a result, the applications range from determining the volumetric flow in
open and closed-loop control systems used in process control to flow monitoring for
emission measurements.
The system is suitable for use in the following areas:
• Operating measurements and emissions monitoring in
– Utilities industry: power station and industrial boilers for all utilities
– Waste disposal: waste and residual waste incineration plants
– Basic industries: installations in the cement and steel industry
• Process control engineering
–Chemical industry
– Drying and processing installations in the pharmaceutical, food, and foodstuffs
industries
– Heat treatment and extraction plants used in plastics processing
• Flow measurements in ventilation, heating, and air-conditioning systems in both industry
and agriculture
