    [ Focus on Chemical Machinery and Equipment Network ] Since the 1990s, China's natural gas industry has entered a fast track.
    Especially after entering the new century, natural gas consumption has grown rapidly.
    This has benefited from China's urbanization and favorable policies for the natural gas industry.
    In the past, China's natural gas meter market has shown strong development momentum.

    Gas is one of the energy sources for urban residents and industrial and commercial households.
    As a public utility, the driving force for the development of the urban gas industry comes from urbanization.
    On the one hand, the "clustering effect" of the city makes it possible to centralize gas supply; on the other hand, urban life requires the use of clean and efficient living energy with gas.

     

    City gas is also called town gas, which refers to the gas used in cities and towns (including: cities, towns, villages and communities, etc.
    ) in our country.
    City gas mainly includes three types: man-made gas, liquefied petroleum gas and natural gas.
    Artificial gas is gradually withdrawing from people's sight due to its high cost, poor temperament, and the pollution of the environment during the production process of the gas source plant.
    Compared with liquefied petroleum gas, natural gas is becoming more and more popular as a cleaner, more efficient, and cheaper energy source.
    Under urbanization, it drives the growth of the gas industry and the growth of related meters.

     

    Natural gas measurement methods mainly include volume measurement, mass measurement and energy measurement.
    Natural gas trade and developed countries such as Europe and the United States mostly adopt energy measurement methods, while China still uses volume measurement methods.
    There are many flow measurement methods and many flow meters are available.
    So, do you know which natural gas flow meters are commonly used?
     
    Flow meter
    The editor learned that there are four main types of natural gas flow meters in common use at present.

     

    One is the gas precession into the vortex flowmeter .
    It can effectively compensate the compression factor, pressure and temperature.
    This feature is very suitable for my country's current natural gas flow environment, because the flowmeter is not only very favorable in terms of price, but also can be used for gas field, oil field, and trade measurement in various cities.
    It was quickly used in other places.
    And its safety is better, and it only requires frequent inspection and replacement by related users.

     
    Flowmeter
      The second is the gas turbine flowmeter.
    The characteristic of the gas turbine flowmeter is that it is a velocity-type flowmeter, which is based on the flow rate test by sensing the average flow velocity of the gas.
    And its sensors and sensors often consist of two parts.
    The gas turbine flowmeter has good repeatability.
    And the anti-interference ability is extremely strong, and the accuracy is also extremely high.
    The disadvantage is that it cannot be maintained for a long time during the calibration period, so in most trade settlements, gas turbine flowmeters are widely used.

     

      The third is the gas waist wheel flowmeter.
    The gas waist wheel flowmeter is a positive displacement flowmeter.
    The gas waist wheel flowmeter has the following advantages: due to the working principle of the gas waist wheel flowmeter, its starting flow is low, as small as a few square gas per hour, and as large as a few hundred per hour.
    The square gas is within its measurement range, the measurement range is large, the range ratio is wide, the accuracy is high, the installation, maintenance, and cleaning are convenient, and the requirements for the straight pipes before and after the flowmeter are not high, and temperature and pressure compensation can be realized.
    As a gas flow meter, the gas waist wheel flowmeter has outstanding advantages and is widely used in all walks of life.

     

      The fourth is a throttling differential pressure flowmeter, which is characterized by a long use time and a wide range of applications.
    It is very suitable for viscous flow, dirty, high pressure, vacuum and other working conditions, and it has requirements for the flow rate of the medium.
    It is very low, and the restriction on pipe diameter is also small, so the flowmeter is often used in subsequent natural gas flow pipelines.
