Turbine meters

What is a turbine meter?

The operation of turbine gas meters is based on the speed at which gas flows through the meter relative to the rotational speed of the turbine blade. Through a combination of a shaft, gear train, and magnetic coupling, the information is transferred to the counter. Since the gas volume is calculated from the flow rate, the flow conditions must be as optimal as possible. Turbine meters therefore perform best when the flow is relatively steady and calm.

Selection of the Turbine Meter

Factors influencing the selection of the meter include, among other things, the gas operating pressure, flow rate, installation location, and continuity of the flow.

For natural gas, biogas, biomethane, and liquefied petroleum gas

The versatile connection options of turbine meters include, among others, various pulse/port outputs. Depending on the gas quality, the meters can be equipped with either durable lubricant bearings or manually lubricated bearings. For corrosive gases, a PTFE-coated version is available.

For small flow rates, it may be worth considering a rotary piston meter.

Dresser Actaris Fluxi 2000/TZ meters are flow meters used to measure medium to large gas flows under medium to high pressure. The meters are optimized for use in all operations related to gas transmission or distribution. Various models are available with capacities ranging from 100 to 10 000 m³/h. Fluxi 2000/TZ meters are suitable for billing purposes.

MZ turbine meters are slightly less expensive than the TZ series and are well suited for self-monitoring and internal inspection measurements when there is no need for billing-grade measurement.
