Gas flowmeters Turbo Flow TFG-S (mobile)
Our dealersThe Turbo Flow TFG-S flowmeter is used for visiting check measurements of gas flow rate on pipelines of any material. Field metering stations without stationary gas meters detecting unbalance, periodic short-term measurements and monitoring and functional check of controlled meters.
Measurement method:
The hot-wire (thermal) mass method of measurement is based on the dependence of the degree of cooling of a heated sensitive element, placed in the stream, due to flow rate. The heated sensitive element in gas flowmeters is a platinum resistance thermometer.
The instruments maintains in real time the constant difference of temperatures between the heated sensitive element of the hot-wire flowmeter and the thermal converter which measures gas temperature. The power needed for maintaining the constant temperature difference is proportional to the mass speed of the gas flow which passed through the metering section. The current value of gas flow rate is calculated according to the value of dissipated heat power of the hot-wire flowmeter, composition and thermophysical properties of gas, pressure parameters, as well as dimensions of the sensitive element of the primary transducer and pipeline cross-sectional area.
Flowmeter purpose:
The Turbo Flow TFG-S flowmeter is used for visiting check measurements of gas flow rate on pipelines of any material.
Field of application:
