The SICK Flow-X Series is a premium powerhouse of digital signal processing, specifically engineered to act as the single-point "brain" of complex custody transfer measurement stations. Whether paired with high-end ultrasonic gas meters or complex analytical sensor loops, Flow-X converts raw field signals into high-value fiscal billing data with incredible 24-bit resolution. As a leading global supplier of premium automation portfolios, Hanyu Zhilian International provides the Flow-X as a fully modular, future-proof control room solution that seamlessly integrates with our core Endress+Hauser instrumentation architectures.
From the touchscreen-enabled Flow-X/P architecture for multi-stream monitoring to the ultra-compact Flow-X/S field module, each independent card features its own dedicated CPU and memory bank. This distributed processing philosophy ensures that a single point of failure at a multi-stream station never compromises your entire midstream facility operations.

The Scenario: A high-pressure midstream city gate terminal required a unified computing system to handle complex AGA 8 compressibility calculations while managing multiple incoming fluid streams from different upstream suppliers.
The Solution: Hanyu Zhilian International deployed a multi-stream Flow-X/P system tightly linked with high-accuracy field sensor arrays. By leveraging 24-bit A/D conversion, the computing system achieved a remarkable 0.008% full-scale precision across severe seasonal ambient temperature ranges.
The Impact: The integrated automated analytical data streaming eliminated manual correction errors. This resulted in a verified 0.5% reduction in total billing uncertainty, saving the plant thousands in unaccounted mass balance gaps.
For complex custody transfer networks, the Flow-X series is fully optimized to operate with premium primary transmitters. It functions seamlessly with advanced gas and liquid allocation loops to support precise custody trade verifications. For multi-variable processing loops facing abrasive, slurry-heavy, or highly corrosive processes where traditional acoustic or electronic drift corrupts data, pairing this flow computer fleet with a ruggedized Rosemount 9195 Wedge Flow Meter provides a comprehensive, zero-drift asset monitoring infrastructure across the plant.
As a trusted international instrumentation supplier, Hanyu Zhilian International bypasses traditional procurement bottlenecks. We maintain strategic ex-stock reserves of premium Flow-X computing modules to eliminate lengthy factory lead times. To ensure absolute project continuity, we provide rapid international logistics across Europe, the Middle East, SE Asia, and the Russian market, fully supported by flexible direct corporate RMB (Yuan) bank transfer handling to minimize cross-border clearing friction.
Q: Can Flow-X handle both gas and liquid measurement in one unit?
A: Yes. Depending on the module configuration (Flow-X/M or Flow-X/C), you can run up to 4 gas streams or 2 liquid streams simultaneously with dedicated, completely segregated algorithms running on each card.
Q: What happens if the facility experiences a total power failure?
A: Flow-X is designed with deep industrial redundancy. It supports a dual 24V DC redundant power bus and utilizes premium internal supercapacitors to maintain critical clock dates, totalized logs, and fiscal parameters during unexpected power interruptions.
Q: How does Hanyu Zhilian support the technical selection of Flow-X?
A: Our dedicated engineering team at hanyuzl.com specializes in compliant selection for international legal metrology. We ensure the software and hardware module configuration exactly matches your specific local pipeline standards. All inquiries are handled strictly according to our global Privacy Policy, ensuring your proprietary project data remains secure.
