Description
1. Introduction to Gas Turbine Flowmeter MT-F110TR
The Gas Turbine Flowmeter MT-F110TR is a high-precision flow measurement instrument designed for industrial applications involving natural gas, petroleum gas, liquefied gas, biogas, and other gases including hydrogen, nitrogen, and coal gas. Known for its sensitive response, high repeatability, and reliable long-term performance, the MT-F110TR ensures accurate monitoring of gas flow rates in critical processes.
This flowmeter is ideal for both trade settlement and process control applications where precision and repeatability are essential. Its robust construction and versatile installation options make it suitable for various industrial environments, including energy, chemical, and petrochemical industries.
2. Working Principle
The MT-F110TR operates on the gas turbine flow measurement principle. Gas flows through a precision turbine rotor, causing it to rotate. The rotational speed of the turbine is directly proportional to the volumetric flow rate of the gas. Sensors detect the rotation and convert it into an electronic signal, which is then processed to determine the flow rate accurately.
The flowmeter maintains high sensitivity, even at low flow rates, allowing precise measurement for both process monitoring and custody transfer applications.
