Five Core Elements for Gas Turbine Flow Meter Selection
Operating Condition Matching: Suitable for 30%-70% of the flow range, with temperature and pressure compensation, and bearings compatible with gas quality.
Performance Selection: Trade-grade ≥1.0 accuracy, low starting flow, low-resistance impeller, and self-lubricating bearings are preferred.
Environmental Compatibility: Protection ≥ IP65, explosion-proof areas require Ex certification, and matching data output/communication interface is essential.
Lifecycle Consideration: Confirm local calibration capabilities, and select established brands and service providers in the natural gas sector.
Misconceptions Avoided: Selecting meters solely based on flow rate; temperature and pressure compensation is essential for medium and high pressure applications, and should be factored into maintenance and calibration costs.
