For low to high capacity in commercial and industrial applications, rotary meters are frequently utilized. These meter kinds give the best accuracy rangeability from low to large capacity requirements. You can have the best accuracy in the business with the option of electronic modules.

Rotary gas meters have spring-loaded vanes that transfer the gas from the entrance to the outlet and discharge by dividing the spaces between the vanes into discrete volumes.

Rotating gas meters, like those made by Romet, are pressure tested up to four times the MAOP and have their measurement accuracy validated in compliance with ANSI B109.3 standards. These gas meters have systems that guarantee constant measuring accuracy and dependability.

Romet's most sophisticated meter body is the RMT. Our customers may rest easy knowing that precise and dependable measurement will be maintained for the duration of the meter's life thanks to an incorporated mechanical backup counter that is standard across the full RMT size range.

Gas flow rates in excess of a small quantity can be measured with rotary type gas meters. Both indoors and outside can use the rotating gas meter. The utility (custody transfer) grade metering or sub-metering of all sorts of gases, including natural gas and propane vapour, are perfect applications for this meter.

The gas regulator and the shut-off valve are the most critical components of any gas meter. Proper installation and venting in line with the local or federal venting requirements are essential aspects of setting up the gas meters for your upstream or downstream equipment or applications. No matter which type of gas regulator you use, it is usually advisable to install a pressure gauge locally at the outlet and inlet of the regulator, along with gauge petcocks to manually isolate each gauge. These gauges monitor the performance and field set the regulator. The gas bottle regulator (gas regulators for LPG bottles) gas flow output reduces this and is required with all LPG gas installation. The regulator always should be fixed on the same level or higher than the cylinder valve.

Maintaining the flow of oil and gas through pipelines is a massive task that necessitates the use of various dependable pieces of equipment. One of these critical components is the gas valve. The oil and gas sector could not ensure that crude oil, refined gas, natural gas, and other commodities arrived at their destination without gas valves. To better grasp what is required for the smooth and safe flow of materials, learn the basics of valves, including seven typical types used in the oil and gas business.

What is a Gas Valve, exactly?

A gas valve is a device that regulates oil and gas flow. The volume of liquids and gases allowed through pipes is controlled by opening or shutting an aperture. The valve stops and starts the flow of fluids, adjusts the amounts, controls the direction, regulates pressure, and relieves pressure.

There are no two environments alike. Some of them are quite corrosive. Others, on the other hand, work under constant stress. Many various types of valves have been developed over the years as a result of these variations. Each type of valve has its own set of benefits and drawbacks. Understanding the various types and purposes in the gas and oil business is essential for successful operation and application.

There are two types of plug valves: lubricated and non-lubricated. This guide explains the difference between these two main types of plug valves. Learn the advantages, disadvantages, and applications of each so that you can answer your customers’ questions about this simple but highly effective equipment.

What is a Plug Valve?

First, a brief intro on plug valves. Plug valves are on-off valves used in a wide variety of applications. Users choose them for frequent operation tasks, and they are quarter-turn valves. There are three port patterns: regular, Venturi, and short. You can learn more about plug valves by reading our previous article: What is a Plug Valve and What is it Used for.

Lubricated plug valves and non-lubricated plug valves each have their uses, described below.

Non-Lubricated Plug Valves

Measuring water usage in applications across residential, commercial and industrial installations requires a variety of water meter types. Here is an overview of the different water meter types, how they are used, and how to choose the right one for your application.

What is a Water Meter and What Does it Do?

Water meters measure the quantity and volume of water that passes through a pipe or outlet. The standard measurements used are gallons or cubic feet. With these metrics, you are able to record the cumulative volume of water passing through the meter.

Water flow meters are used to measure not only the volume of water passing through but also the different characteristics of the liquid such as:

Speed of flow

Quantity used

pH balance

Quality

Electric conductivity

Water flow meters calculate water bills but can also provide indications on how much of a liquid to add to a process or product.

Designed to vent directly to atmosphere in outdoor installations, these “pop” style relief valves are economical for high pressures with high flows. Brass construction with a weather cap is standard.

Pressure Range (Setting): 45 – 250 PSI

Maximum Inlet Pressure: 400 PSI
