Table 1 General characteristics

Destined for the measurement ofGas volume
Environmental classesM1/E2
Accuracy class0.5
Working pressureThe meter is either programmed with a density and viscosity setting, corresponding to the applied gas at preset pressure or using live pressure value from the optional pressure sensor. When using a preset value the maximum operating range for pressure $ p_{\mathrm{max}}/p_{\mathrm{min}} $ is 6,25 symmetrically divided around the preset pressure.

Conditions for conformity assessment:

Installation of the ultrasonic gas meter

For mild and severe flow disturbances the meter needs to be installed with the following minimum piping configuration as upstream inlet:

  • mild disturbances: 5D straight piping.

  • severe disturbances: 5D straight piping + CPA50 type A flow conditioner + 5D straight piping.

The outlet piping shall comply with:

  • 3D straight piping (for both mild and severe disturbances).

Any components which could affect the gas flow must be avoided within the above prescribed inlet pipe length. The necessary straight pipe length is stated on the name plate of the meter. The inlet pipe must be designed as a straight pipe section of the same nominal diameter as the gas meter with a maximum tolerance of +/- 3%.

Bi-directional flow measurement

During conformity assessment it is sufficient to verify a bi-directional meter only in one direction.

Temperature sensor

The installation of a temperature sensor is at 2-5D from the outlet of the meter. For bi-directional applications an additional temperature sensor can be installed 2-5D upstream of the meter. The pipe spools including the thermo well(s) shall be installed and considered during the examination for putting into use of the gas meter.

Alternative welded installation

The meters can be welded directly without flanges to the inlet and outlet pipes. The inlet and outlet pipe length shall be according the requirements as prescribed above for mild and/or severe disturbances. The complete meter package (meter including welded piping) shall be calibrated in order to guarantee compliance with Class 0.5.
