General
The FLOWSIC600 does not contain mechanically moving parts. The meter body and
ultrasonic transducers are the only components that come into contact with the gaseous
media. Titanium and high-quality stainless steel ensure that these components are
resistant to corrosion, provided that the meter is installed and operated in accordance with
the relevant specifications. This means that the FLOWSIC600 is a low-maintenance
system. User Warning Limits can be configured to provide early warnings for possible
issues with contamination or blockages. Maintenance is limited mainly to routine checks to
determine the plausibility of the measured values and diagnostic results produced by the
system.
It is recommended to create and file maintenance reports on a regular basis (
→
5.3). This
serves to create a basis of comparable data over time and helps when a fault has to be
diagnosed.
Routine checks :
→
»Comparing theoretical and measured Speed of Sound (SOS)« (pg. 63)
→
»Checking the Meter Health« (pg. 64)
→
»Time Synchronization« (pg. 65)
→
»Battery Lifetime / Capacity« (pg. 66)
Documentation:

»Maintenance Report« (pg. 67)
The operating conditions (gas composition, pressure, temperature, flow
velocity) under which the maintenance reports to be compared are generated
should be similar. If the operating conditions are not comparable, they should
be documented separately and taken into account when the data is analyzed.
