4. Use and Scope of Quantometers

TheQuantometerMQMisdesignedfornonescalorin-plantmeteringofnaturalgasand

approved according the European guidelines of 97/23/EG. The MQM Quantometer is suitable

tobeinstalledinhazardousareaofCategory2(Zone1)II2GcIICT4X.

TheMQMQuantometerissuitableforthefollowinggases:

•Naturalgas,towngas,propane,butane,ethylene,air,nitrogen,noblegases

•Furthergasesonrequest.

TheMQMQuantometercannotbeusedfor:Oxygen,Acetyleneandotheraggressivegases

as well as for explosive gases and gas mixtures. The meter should not be used in applications

with the presence of strong pulsations. These conditions will result in an increased error and

maysignicantlydecreasethemeter’slifetime.

7. Installation

Recommendations and requirements for the installation of the MQM Quantometer:

•Preferably,themetershouldbeinstalledhorizontally,withindexheadupward.

•Straightinletpipe≥5DNandoutletpipe≥1DNinthenominalpipediameter

is recommended for high accuracy.

•Ensure that the gas ow is in the same direction as shown by the arrow

at the meter housing.

•Avoid heavy vibrations and pulsations in the point of measurement.

 Installationofasuitablecompensatorcaneectivelydampdownthiskindofdisturbance.

•Drasticchangesinthegasowaswellasstronglypulsatingowwillincreasethe

measuring error. They arise for example during frequently switching on-o of

solenoid valves. The pressure impulses by opening the valve very fast may damage

the ball bearings of the turbine rotor and cause failure of the Quantometer.

•Filter(smallmeshsize)shouldbeinstalledupstreamofthemetertoprotectitfrom

 anycontamination(suspendedparticles>50µm)duringstart-upandoperation.

•The gas should be dry. If condensate may be occur then the installation

of a condensation trap upstream of the meter is recommended

 (insomeltertypesitisintegrated).Inthiscasechoose

o Flowdirectionfromtoptobottom

o DoNotinstallthemeteratthelowestpointofthepiping

Attention: The MQM Quantometer is not suitable for oxygen and other highly

corrosive gases as well as for explosive gases and gas mixtures.

8. Mounting Position / Direction of Flow

There are two positions of installation possible for the turbine gas meter:

Horizontal installation or vertical installation

Figure 2: Typical horizontal installation of the MQM Quantometer (recommended)

Figure 3: Typical vertical installation of the MQM turbine gas meter (only DN ≤ 150)

Notice: Ensure that the gas ow is in the same direction as shown by the arrow at the meter housing.

9. Preliminary work

Before the installation of the meter please make sure that the following steps

has been observed:

1. Remove the plastic cover sheets the inlet and outlet of the meter.

2.Inspectthemeterforcompleteness(e.g.plugs,providedoilvolume)

and for absence of any transport damages.

3. Cleantheangesurfaces(e.g.withpetroleum).

4. Checkbyblowingintothemeterthatturbinerotorrotateseasilyandstopssmoothly.

5. Priortothemeter’sinstallationcheckthatnocontaminations,condensate,dirtanddebris

are in the pipe. Especially the cleaning of elbows in vertical installations is important

 topreventdamageofthemeterbycontaminations,dirtanddebrispassing.Acone-shaped

 start-upsievemaybeinstalledforinitialoperation.After4-6weeksitshouldberemoved

 toavoidperturbationsoftheowprolewithresultingdecreaseoftheaccuracy.

6. Makesurethatthereisnointrusionofthesealingelementintothepipeduringinstallation

 andoperation(concentricmounting).

7. Checkthatinadditiontothemeter-lengththereisenoughinstallationspacefor

the two seals between inlet and outlet anges.

8. The meter must be installed stress-free. Therefore in addition to point 7 observe strictly the

 properalignmentoftheQuantometer’sinlettooutletaxiswiththeconnectingpipingaxis.
