1.3 Recommended sample flow rate Use the smallest acceptable flow rate for the process gas passing through the meter. This ensures a sample gas flow rate that is representative of the main flow with regard to the proportions of different gas constituents. Micro Motion recommends a gas flow rate of 5 ±1 l/hr (0.176 ±0.35 ft 3 /hr), although a flow[...]

• Pressure drops through the valves and filters do not affect the reading. The pressure inside the meter and at the gas outlet is equal to the pressure at the orifice downstream point. • The correct expansion factor for the downstream point is used in the orifice flow calculations. • The measured density at the density point is used in the ma[...]

Tip To avoid excessive pressure drops in your sample pipeline, be sure to monitor the condition of the filters. Do this by varying the sample flow rate and monitoring the magnitude of the resultant density changes. Pressure drops through the filters can cause density errors if they become too large. 1.6.2 Meter installation in a vented gas applicat[...]
