Rotary gas meters


What is a Rotary gas meter?

8

• Rotary gas meters are characterized by extended measuring

ranges and compact dimensions. They ensure high accuracy, even

if the gas flow is low or irregular.

• Metering by basics of positive displacement principle


Basics of positive displacement principle

9

• Rotary gas meters utilize the rotary-type positive displacement

principle of operation which makes volumetric measurements by

displacing finite volumes of gas.

• The positive displacement occurs within a cavity formed between

the meter`s internal housing and its rotating impellers. The counter-

rotating “figure-8” impellers turn as a result of pressure drop across

the meter`s inlet and outlet created as downstream gas is

consumed. The rotating impellers separate the flowing gas into

small, finite volumes and are counted using a mechanical index.


Basics of positive displacement principle

10

As the left

impeller

rotates toward

the vertical

position, gas

enters the

cavity created

between the

impeller and

the housing.

When the

left impeller

reaches

the vertical

position, a

finite volume of

gas is captured

in the left

cavity.

As the impellers

Continue to

turn, the volume

of gasin the left

cavity

is discharged.

Simultaneously,

gas is entering

the space

between the

right impeller

and housing.

After further

rotation, the

right impeller

becomes

vertical and a

finite volume

of gas is

captured

in the right

cavity.


Target application >> Gas Distribution

11

• Gas distribution companies require very robust and accurate

measurement instruments. Their applications demand gas meters with

exceptional performance and reliability. This includes low pressure

drop, wide range ability, and high maximum operating pressure.
