Volume converters

What is a Volume Converter?

Natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas are compressible media, so in metering for billing purposes, pressure and temperature must be taken into account. The volume converter provides a pressure- and temperature-compensated measurement of the gas volumetric flow.

The measured natural gas volumetric flow is converted to normal conditions (0 °C and 1.01325 bar). In precise measurements and large volumes, it is essential to also consider the compressibility factor. The gas meter provides a volumetric measurement to the volume converter, and the converter calculates the compensated measurement value. This information can be transmitted from the volume converter, for example, as a milliamp signal or as a pulse to a data logger.
