CRITERIA FOR SELECTION OF METER

  •  Contractual requirement
  •  Rangeability or Turndown ratio
  •  Accuracy required
  •  Pressure requirement
  •  Calibration & maintenance requirement
  •  Size & weight
  •  Installation and maintenance constraints
  •  Operability
  •  Cost
  •  Gas quality
RANGEABILITY

The ratio between Qmin and Qmax, i.e. the minimum and maximum flow rate

respectively for which the meter performs within the maximum permissible errors.

For various type of meters are as follows,

  • Diaphragm meters 1: 150
  • Rotary Positive Displacement meters 1:30 or Better
  • Turbine 1:30 or Better

FILTRATION

Filtration at 50 microns or finer should be fitted to all metering system operating

at pressure above 500 mbar and 27 deg C.

CORRECTORS

Electronic volume correctors will be fitted to all meters operating between flow

range of 800 to 2500 scmd and for flow range above 2500 scmd Electronic flow

meter will be used.
