according the European requirements of EN12261. The MTM turbine meter is suitable to be
installedinhazardousareaofCategory2(Zone1)II2GcIICT4X.

TheMTMturbinemetercannotbeusedfor:Oxygen,Acetyleneandotheraggressivegasesas
well as for explosive gases or 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
signicantlydecreasethemeter’slifetime.

7. Installation
Recommendations and requirements for the installation of the MTM turbine meter:
•StraightInletpipe≥2DNandoutletpipe≥1DNisrequiredforscalmetering
in case of low level perturbations. In case of high level perturbations a straight
inletpipe≥4DNisrequired.
•Avoid heavy vibrations and pulsations in the point of measurement.
Installationofasuitablecompensatorcaneectivelydampdownthiskindofdisturbance.
•Drasticchangesinthegasowaswellasstronglypulsatingowwillincreasethe
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 turbine meter.
•Filter(smallmeshsize)shouldbeinstalledupstreamofthemetertoprotectitfromany
contamination(suspendedparticles>50µm)duringstart-upandoperation.

•The gas should be dry. If condensate may be occur then the installation of a condensation
trapupstreamofthemeterisrecommended(insomeltertypesitisintegrated).
In this case choose
o Flowdirectionfromtoptobottom
o DoNotinstallthemeteratthelowestpointofthepiping
Attention: The MTM turbine meter 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 MTM turbine gas meter (recommended)
Figure 3: Typical vertical installation of the MTM turbine gas meter (only DN ≤ 150)
Notice: Preferably, the meter should be installed horizontally, with index head upward.
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 make sure that the following steps has been observed:
1. Remove the plastic cover sheets at the inlet and outlet of the meter.
2.Inspectthemeterforcompleteness(e.g.plugs,providedoilvolume)
and for absence of any transport damages.
3. Cleantheangesurfaces(e.g.withpetroleum).
4. Checkbyblowingintothemeterthatturbinerotorrotateseasilyandstopssmoothly.
5. Priortothemeter’sinstallationcheckthatnocontaminations,condensate,dirtanddebris
are in the pipe. Especially the cleaning of elbows in vertical installations is important to
preventdamageofthemeterbycontaminations,dirtanddebrispassing.Acone-shaped
