Description and operation

The TYL rotary gas meter registers the operating volume using an eight-digit mechanical counter. Via pulses the
operating volume can be transferred to an electronic volume corrector and converted to normal or standard
conditions. The TYL rotary meter is approved for custody transfer according to MID (2014 /32/EU) / OIML.

Rotary gas meters are operating according the displacement principle. In the meter housing are two 8-shaped
coordinated rotating pistons without touching each other. The measuring chamber is regularly filled and emptied
by the rotation. During each revolution four crescent-shaped volumes are moved through the measuring
chamber, in which the rotation speed is proportional to the gas flow. The rotation of the pistons is synchronized
by a gear train outside the measuring chamber.

The actual volume flow can be transmitted to electronic volume correctors or data loggers via low frequency (LF)
pulses generated by Reed contacts. In the meter's index head is also located an anti-tampering contact.

Rotary gas meters are characterized by a very compact design and high accuracy. The TYL rotary meter requires
no inlet or outlet pipe and is insensitive to severe gas flow fluctuations (discontinuous operation).

TYL Rotary Displacement Gas Meter

Error limits and typical error curve
According to EN 12480 maximum permissible error limits:
Qmin ≤ Q ＜ Qt: ±2.0 %
Qt ≤ Q ≤ Qmax : ±1.0 %

Qt = depends on the measuring range:

The initial calibration of the rotary meter TYL will always render results smaller than the maximum permissible
errors defined by the international standards of EN 12480 and OIML. Lower calibration errors with only half the
maximum permissible errors are available upon special request.

G-Typ Qt
G 10, G 16 0,1 Qmax
G 25 to G 1000 0,05 Qmax

Typical error curve

The rotary meters TYL show very stable and reproducible measurement results. The design of the housings and
pressure containing parts has been optimized especially for robustness under torsional and bending stresses. The
meters can withstand more than double the specified torsional and bending stresses implied through the
installation as defined in EN 12480.

The lifetime durability of the TYL rotary meter is very stable due to the large dimensioned high precision ball
bearings "made in Germany" along with the high precision machining of the body and all moving parts.
After machining all aluminum parts are hard anodized for less friction and higher resistance to wear and tear.

The rotary meters TYL are manufactured with large measurement ranges due to the precision machining of the
parts and a very reproducible assembly process.

The pressure loss of the TYL meters is extremely low due to the very small manufacturing tolerances
and the high precision, low friction parts. With the very low pressure loss the TYL rotary meters are
very well suited for use in low pressure applications for burners or other processes requiring very
tight process parameters.

5. Oil lubricated bearings
6. Magnetic coupling
7. Oil inspection window
8. Oil filling or drain hole

The pressure containing housing (1) is high resistance to torsion and bending forces due to the large high
strength aluminum cross sections. The profiles of the precision machined and dynamically balanced rotating
impellers (2) have been computer optimized to produce a stable, small gap between the moving parts for best
measurement results under all operating conditions. The high precision ball bearings ”made in Germany" (5) with
minimized tolerances are the basis for a very smooth operation and high bearing loads for rough operating
conditions.

The synchronizing gears (4) made out of high strength stainless steel are providing for a very smooth
operation of the meter. The lubrication oil is inserted into the front and back oil chambers through
the filling plugs (8) before commissioning of the meter. The correct filling level can be checked
through the oil gauge glasses (7). The rotation of the rotary impellers is transmitted by means of a
mechanical gear train and the magnetic coupling (6) to the 8 digit mechanical counter with an
environmental protection class of IP 67.

The exchangeable low frequency (LF) switch in combination with an anti- tampering contact provides
for the electrical connection to an electronic volume corrector and a possible further AMR device. The
mechanical counter is 355° rotatable and thus the meter is installable both vertically and horizontally.
The complete design of the meter is aimed at maximum robustness and long lifetime under operation
at highest measurement accuracy.
