The turbine gas meter measures the quantity of gas basing on the flow principle. The gas flows through an integrated flow conditioner, which distributes the flow proportionally in the annular slot and guides it to the turbine wheel. The wheel is driven by the gas flow, and the angular velocity of the rotation is proportional to the gas flow rate. The rotary motion of the turbine wheel is transferred mechanically by gear wheels, and the incorporated gas tight and hermetic magnetic coupling, to the index unit, mounted on the top of the body, and shows the volume on the totaliser.
The basic components of the COMMON CGT series turbine gas meter are as follows:
Pressure resistant meter body (1)
Inlet flow conditioner (2)
Measuring cartridge with the turbine wheel (3)
Magnetic coupling as the transferring element between the measuring cartridge and the index head (4)
Index head, IP67 protection class (5)
Lubricating system (some meters may be provided)
