About this document
This manual describes the FLOWSIC600 measuring system, which is used to determine
the volumetric flow rate, volume and speed of sound in gases transported in pipelines. It
provides general information on the measuring method employed, design and function of
the entire system and its components, on planning, assembly, installation, calibration com-
missioning, maintenance and troubleshooting. A detailed description of the various system
capabilities, options and settings which will assist in optimizing the meter configuration for
a specific application is also included.
This manual covers standard applications which conform with the technical data specified.
Additional information and assistance for special applications are available from your SICK
representative. However, it is generally recommended that advantage be taken of qualified
consulting services provided by SICK experts for your specific application.
