LPG & Gas Flowmeters : Accurate Measurement for Fuel and Process Gases

Pioneer provides a range of flowmeters specifically designed for accurate and reliable measurement of LPG (liquefied petroleum gas), natural gas, and other industrial and fuel gases. Precise gas flow measurement is essential for safety, process control, and custody transfer applications.

The Importance of Accurate Gas Flow Measurement

Accurate gas flow measurement is crucial for :

• Safety : Detecting leaks, preventing explosions, and ensuring safe operation of gas-powered equipment.
• Process Control : Maintaining optimal gas flow rates for efficient combustion, chemical reactions, and other processes.
• Custody Transfer : Accurately measuring gas volumes for billing and accounting purposes.
• Energy Efficiency : Optimizing gas usage and reducing waste.
• Emissions Monitoring : Tracking gas consumption to comply with environmental regulations.

Types of Gas Flowmeters

Several flowmeter technologies are commonly used for gas measurement :

• Coriolis Mass Flowmeters : Provide direct mass flow measurement, independent of gas density changes. Highly accurate but typically more expensive.
• Thermal Mass Flowmeters : Measure mass flow rate based on heat transfer. Good for low flow rates and clean gases.
• Vortex Flowmeters : Suitable for a wide range of gas flow applications.
• Turbine Flowmeters : A cost-effective for gas.
• Ultrasonic Flowmeters : Non-intrusive measurement for various gases.
• Differential Pressure Flowmeters : Used with flow elements (e.g., orifice plates), requiring pressure and temperature compensation for accurate mass flow.
• Rotameter

Key Considerations

• Gas Type : Different gases have different properties that affect flowmeter selection.
• Flow Range : Select a flowmeter with an appropriate flow range for your application.
• Pressure and Temperature : Consider the operating pressure and temperature of the gas.
• Accuracy Requirements : Choose the required accuracy level for your application (especially important for custody transfer).
• Safety Certifications : Ensure the flowmeter meets relevant safety standards for hazardous gases (e.g., ATEX, IECEx).
