Dresser? Turbine Meters

Product catalog summary
Overview: GE Oil & Gas presents the Dresser Turbine Meters, designed for accuracy and reliability in measuring gas velocity. These meters are equipped with innovative features to enhance performance and reduce maintenance costs.
Design Features: The turbine meters include a removable meter cartridge assembly, optimized bearing construction, an oil flushing and lubrication system, a multi-stage flow conditioner, and a multi-functional index assembly. The lightweight aluminum body facilitates handling and installation.
Meter Cartridge Assembly: The product line ranges from G40 to G4000, with aluminum bodies operating up to 8” (20 bar) and steel bodies up to 12” (100 bar). The removable cartridge allows for easy maintenance and capacity upgrades, offering cost savings and flexibility in meter station design.
Optimized Bearing Construction: The Axial Load Compensation (ALC) design reduces mechanical friction on bearings, enhancing their lifespan by positioning them upstream of the turbine wheel to protect from contaminants.
Oil Refreshing & Flushing System: This system maintains bearing performance by flushing contaminants and refreshing oil, extending recalibration intervals as per regulatory standards.
Multi-Stage Flow Conditioner: Enhances meter accuracy by doubling the internal flow conditioning length, ensuring superior performance even in non-ideal installations.
Multi-Functional Index Assembly: Features a magnetic coupled index for easy transition between mechanical and electronic readings, with modular flexibility for sensor changes.
Technical Data: Suitable for clean and dry natural gas, town gas, propane, and inert gases. The meters have nominal pressure ratings of PN 10/16 and ANSI 150/300/600, with a measuring range of 1:20 minimum or better. Flow rates vary from 8 m3/h to 6500 m3/h depending on the material and size.
Calibration and Standards: Each meter and cartridge comes with a calibration certificate, compliant with international standards such as EC Directive MID 2004/22/EC and EN12261.
Installation Recommendations: Designed for outdoor installation, the meters require clean gas pipes and may benefit from an automatic lubrication system in dirty gas conditions. Slow pressurization is recommended to prevent damage.
Advantages: The Dresser Turbine Meters offer precision, long-term reliability, cost-effective maintenance, and enhanced measurement accuracy through innovative design features.

Dresser? Turbine Meters-2

GE Oil & Gas’ innovative Dresser Turbine Meter helps reduce installation and maintenance costs while improving measurement accuracy Built with Operation in Mind Design Features Designed to measure gas velocity, the operating principle of the turbine meter incorporates an innovative method of conditioning flow in the meter body. A straightening section in the meter body conditions the gas flow by removing undesired swirl, and turbulence before it reaches the turbine rotor. The dynamic forces from gas flow initiate rotation of the turbine rotor. The precision machined rotor, mounted on an axial...

This feature offers modular flexibility in terms of minimum and maximum capacity. In accordance with European Standard EN 12261, 6.4 Removable meter mechanism, 6.4.1 Integrity, 6.4.1.1 Requirements that states “the design and integrity of a meter with removable mechanism or cartridge shall not be affected by the removal or replacement of the measuring element or cartridge. A meter will be deemed to meet this requirement if it remains leak tight, as defined in 6.2.3, when subjected to the test given in 6.4.2”. For example, the 6” turbine meter body may be ordered with a Qmax of 650 m3/h, 1000...

Dresser? Turbine Meters-4

Effective removal of dirt and dust along with oil refreshment enhances turbine meter accuracy. This is important in applications where gas quality is inferior. Some gas networks have locations where flowing gas includes increased levels of dirt, entrapped liquids and other foreign materials. For applications with inferior gas quality, conventional oil injection systems only add oil to bearings and other critical gears. Flushing dirty oil can significantly improve bearing and gear performance. The Dresser Turbine Meters incorporate an inventive oil refreshing and flushing lubrication system. During...

Turbine Meter Advantages ■ Precision machined rotor, superior component parts, and robust body design provides long-term accuracy and reliability. Replaceable Measurement Cartridge (RMC) allows customers to design small metering stations when planning for future meter capacity increases. Low cost associated with government accuracy test directives by replacing the existing measurement cartridge with a new pre-calibrated cartridge. Reduce the need to replace the entire meter by replacing a measurement cartridge when it is necessary to perform important repair work. Multi-stage flow conditioner...

Calibration Dresser Turbine Meters and removable cartridge assemblies are each supplied with a calibration certificate. The initial verification and calibration are carried out at the factory on an NMi and/or PTB approved calibration bench. All Dresser Turbine Meters are designed for outdoor installation. The index is IP65/IP55 approved. Gas pipes must be clean and free from foreign impurities such as sand, dirt, welding debris and other particles, as well as liquid. Where dirty gas exists, it is recommended to fit the meter with an automatic lubrication system and or a purge system. Note: The...
