With the FLOWSIC100 Process gas flow measurement devices measurements can be carried out at pressures up to 16 bar - also in hazardous areas Zone 2. The sender/receiver units are available as hermetically sealed versions made of stainless steel or titanium. The standard system contains a MCU control unit and 2 sender/receiver units or a measuring probe. The MCU is used for input and output of signals, for calculation of reference values (standardization) or mass flows, as well as user-friendly LCD interface.
