Purpose:
Ultrasonic gas flowmeters are intended for high-accuracy measurement (1%):
- Volumetric gas flow rate;
- Mass gas flow rate
in operating and standard conditions in pipelines DN 50…100 mm PN16.
The electronic computing unit:
- Takes measurement of gas flow parameters: temperature, pressure.
- Makes computation of accumulated gas volume.
- Archives measured parameters.
- Optional: data transfer via mobile communication or Ethernet links.
Field of application:
- The unit of gas metering stations in gas distribution networks with pressure up to 1.6 MPa.
- Modernization and re-equipment of metering units with measurement systems based on the turbine and rotary meters with electronic correctors.
- Gas metering device nodes in the absence of power.
Specific features of flowmeter:
- Specially selected distance between the flanges of the frame size of turbine and rotary meters;
- Accuracy of measurements 1%;
- Autonomous operation of the device at least 5 years;
- Wide measurement range 1:200;
- No pressure losses;
- No sensitivity to vibration and acoustic noise;
- Intelligent self-diagnostics system;
- Reliability due to absence of moving parts;
- Double-beam system without using the reflection of the beam.
Our engineers together with the researchers from the South Federal University carried out a series of studies in the ultrasonic flow measurement field. The twoyear effort has resulted in a unique measuring system based on the special-purpose piezoelectric transducers that are not sensitive to contaminating deposits up to 1 mm thick. This offers the possibility to successfully use our flowmeters for metering so-called “dirty gas”.
Configuration options:
Based on temperature range of ambient environment and medium measured:
- configuration М – from minus 30 to plus 70;
- configuration Х – from minus 50 to plus 70.
Based on components and performed functions:
- Configuration S1TR includes an ultrasonic flow transducer, electronic unit, temperature transducer, flow computer integrated in electronic unit, pressure transducer;
- Configuration S2TR includes an ultrasonic flow transducer, electronic unit, temperature transducer, a flow computer remotely installed in a flow-measurement cabinet, pressure transducer;
Based on explosion protection:
- 1 Ex dib [ia Ga] IIC T4 Gb;
- 1 Ex d [ia Ga] IIC T4 Gb.
A special-purpose removable attachment allows performing the on-site “hot” swapping of ultrasonic sensors without pressurizing the main pipeline and without dismantling the flowmeter.
