Table 2 Flow characteristics of the gas meter

Meter SizeInternal flow channel bore diameterMinimum flow velocity $V_{\min}$Minimum Transitional flow velocity $V_{t}$Maximum flow velocity $V_{\max}$
InchDN[mm][m/s][m/s][m/s]
2"DN50430,23,535
3"DN8066
4"DN10084
6"DN150105

The corresponding flow rates can be calculated as follows:

Q=v $ \cdot \frac{1}{4} \cdot \pi \cdot D^{2} \cdot 3 6 0 0 $

Where:

Q = flow rate [m $ ^{3} / \mathrm{h} ]$

v = velocity [m/s]

D = internal flow channel bore diameter [m].

Note:

If higher values are chosen for $ Q_{\min} $ or $ Q_{t} $ and/or lower values for $ Q_{\max} $ it has to be taken into account that:

  • If ratio 5 $ \leq $ Qmax:Qmin $ < $ 50 then ratio Qmax:Qt $ \geq $ 5

  • If ratio Qmax:Qmin $ \geq 5 0 $ then ratio Qmax:Qt $ \geq 1 0 $

The software versions can be read out on the gas meter display by navigating Menu $ \rightarrow $ System Info.

Installation conditions:

Installation requirements

Any components which could affect the gas flow must be avoided within the prescribed inlet pipe length of 0 DN and at least 3 DN for the outlet pipe length. The inlet and outlet pipe must be designed as a straight pipe section of the same nominal diameter as the gas meter.
