Design And Operating Principle
The Awtile Tg Series Gas Turbine Flow Meter measures velocity by using a precision rotor suspended in the flow stream. As gas moves through the flow meter, the rotor spins at a speed proportional to the volumetric flow rate under steady conditions.
An integrated pickoff coil generates a frequency signal that is conditioned to provide a digital output compatible with most SCADA and process control hardware. This design ensures fast response and high resolution even at low flow rates.
Pressure And Temperature Performance
Operating within rated pressure and temperature limits is essential for maintaining accuracy and component life. The Tg Series features robust construction and compensation algorithms to handle fluctuations without sacrificing measurement integrity.
Advanced temperature compensation adjusts for density changes, while pressure effects are minimized through a streamlined internal geometry that reduces pressure drop across the meter body and keeps performance predictable.
Installation And Integration Guidelines
Proper installation practices are critical to achieving stable readings and long service life for the Awtile Tg Series Gas Turbine Flow Meter. Engineers must account for upstream and downstream piping requirements, support, and environmental factors.
Alignment, vibration isolation, and access for maintenance should be planned early to avoid operational issues and ensure that the meter remains within specified tolerances throughout its lifecycle.
Calibration And Maintenance Procedures
Periodic calibration against primary standards helps preserve the accuracy class specified for each model. Maintenance intervals should consider media cleanliness, pressure, and temperature cycling to detect wear in bearings and rotor assemblies early.
Field verification techniques and scheduled inspections reduce unplanned downtime and support compliance with industry quality and safety requirements for gas measurement.
