Selection of natural gas meter
Thread Content
The company has recently installed a new natural gas boiler that consumes approximately 1,200 cubic meters of gas per hour. We would like to install a meter to monitor this usage; could you advise us on what model and brand of meter to choose? Thank you
Is this for trade measurement or ordinary testing? Generally, low-pressure measurement is chosen, which corresponds to a pressure range of 0.1~0.4 MPa, and turbine flow meters or Roots flow meters are selected in such cases. There are many such natural gas flow meters available in the domestic market; some of the better-known brands include Tianxin Instruments and Cangnan Instruments
If a pressure regulating device is used with the gas boiler, a gas turbine flow meter can be chosen. It is a next-generation, high-precision and highly reliable instrument for accurate gas measurement, integrating temperature, pressure, and flow sensors as well as an intelligent flow integrator. It features multiple signal output options and low sensitivity to disturbances in the fluid flow
The key factors are flow rate and gas pressure; among the domestic manufacturers, Cangnan, Tianxin, and Rotok are relatively good options, and gas worm gear flow meters are generally chosen in such cases
For imported ones, Aichuang can be used; it provides quite accurate measurements
Turbine flowmeters are generally used for natural gas metering; they are commonly found in Tianxin and Cangnan.
