Introduction to Gas Technology
1.1 METER APPLICATION 1.2 TECHNOLOGIES
When metering is used for billing purposes,
the essential value sought is the energy
consumed. To obtain this value the volume
of the reference conditions must first of
all be known. This information is then
processed manually using the average
volumetric calorific value to obtain the
corresponding energy.
A metering chain includes one or more
primary sensors corresponding to
auxiliary functions of processing and
correction. History and experience have
confirmed the superiority of direct volume
measuring systems (meters).
These meters measure the volume of a
given gas, which is then computed and
shown on an index (Totaliser). Volume Gas

“c” series
Smart ready, allowing for future AMR capabilities
Itron’s latest-generation mechanical index meter comes standard with our Cyble™
target, and can be upgraded in the field to implement AMR and enable remote reading
via different communication technologies.
Key advantages of “c” series
ª Ready for smart metering
ª Can be retrofitted on site without recalibration of meter
ª Reliability of an electronic switch (no wear or bouncing)
ª Principle proven on the field with 20 years experience
ª Pre-equipment is immune to magnetic tampering
“o” series
Retrofit enabling smart upgrades to existing meter park
The “o” series addresses traditional meters with a mechanical index, already installed in
the field, to minimize stranded assets when AMR/AMI is required. LF transmitters - via
a Reed switch - and a Pulse RF radio module transform pulses into transmittable data.

SPARKLOG
Datalogger
The SparkLog data logger offers new ways to multi-energy

metering, combining Electricity, Gas and Water.
SPARKLOG IS UNIVERSAL SPARKLOG IS COMPATIBLE

SparkLog has 4 pulse inputs each The communication protocol is based on
individual programmable for energy / fluid IEC1107 protocol with the enhancements
media. Configured as a stand-alone device of the German VDEW/VDN specification,
it operates independent from mains supply supported by most of the AMR systems
on its internal Lithium battery up to eight
years and therefore well adopted to Gas SPARKLOG GOES OBIS/EDIS
and Water meters. For the identification of its measuring
values SparkLog relays on OBIS/EDIS
SPARKLOG IS A TEAM PLAYER identification for display and IEC1107
For remote meter reading purposes, protocol codes.
SparkLog and Sparkline modems build

Diaphragm Meters
The diaphragm meters G65 and G100 are KEY BENEFITS

designed for industrial applications. The design ª Long term accuracy and
is based on high measuring accuracy and a long reliability
lifetime and are maintenance free. ª Robust, maintenance free
This performance is made possible through the meter
principle of two measuring chambers, which are ª MID approved
driven by the pressure of the gas. The measured ª Wide measuring range
volume is displayed on a numeric totalizer. ª Low pressure loss
TECHNICAL DESIGN
Totaliser
A direct or indirect driven register, depending on the
type of coupling between the measuring unit and the
index box, indicates the passed volume of gas.
Both index box-constructions are designed in such a Totaliser with Cyble target
way that it’s almost impossible to access the registers
without damaging them.
Measuring unit
The measuring unit consists of two chambers with
synthetic and gas-tight diaphragms, which is moved
by the differential between the inlet and outlet pressure.
A transmission gear and a magnetic coupling / stuffing
box transfer the reciprocating motion to the mechanical
index.
The unit is built in a robust steel coated casing, either
drawn or welded. Measuring unit

Natural gas quality analyzer
ANGus® is a natural gas quality analyzer for KEY BENEFITS

industrial purposes. ª Real-time measurement
It breaks new ground for applications needing of natural gas quality (Hs,

properties. ª OIML R140 compliant
(accuracy class B on Hs)
ª Measurement period
APPLICATIONS
15 seconds
Natural gas quality varies a lot in the networks today.
ª Installation in industrial
This worldwide trend is mainly due to the development
ATEX hazardous areas
of the networks and their use in de-regulated markets,
zone 1 & 2
involving the increase of natural gas supply sources /
storages and fast switches from one source to another. ª Low maintenance
ª User-friendly integrated
As a result, these variations affect the combustion
interface with large
properties of the gas, leading to major concerns for
graphic display
industrial customers and utilities.
ª Large and flexible database
ANGus® provides an efficient solution to these problems
and can be used for two major application types: ª Extended communication
capabilities (2 analog
ª Energy metering and billing outputs, 2 digital outputs,
ª Industrial process safety and efficiency improvement 2 RS485 ports)
Real-time energy metering at the metering point allows
utilities to bill on a fairer basis and industrial customers
to better monitor their energy consumption.
On the other side, real-time monitoring of gas quality
is the key to optimise combustion in most industrial
processes, therefore improving their efficiency and
safety control.

agressive gases, etc
MZ meters are designed to measure natural gas, and
various filtered, and non-corrosive gases.
They are used to measure low to medium and high
flow, at low or medium, or high pressure.
They have been especially designed for industrial use
and for secondary measurement.
The possibility of fitting various options such as the oil
pump or the PTFE coating version, means that they
are also suitable for use in heavy duty measurement.

DESCRIPTION
The MZ meter is composed of five main parts:
➊ a body part containing all the components
➋ a flow straightener to stabilise and accelerate the flow before the turbine wheel
➌ a measuring unit including the turbine wheel
➍ a magnetic coupling to transmit the movement of the turbine wheel to the totaliser
➎ a totaliser to register the measured gas

for the LF transmitter.
F) Installation
Each meter is delivered with binder plugs for the installed transmitters and oil when an
oil pump is installed. Please refer to the instruction manual supplied with the meter.

Due to the volumetric principle of the Delta QD, its
metrology is not influenced by installation conditions.
Consequently, it can be used to build very compact
stations without installing a straight pipe inlet before
the meter.
They have been especially designed
for industrial use and for secondary measurement and
are particularly adapted when the flow can be low or
irregular.

HIGH RELIABILITY
With the unique, patented principle of Cyble technology, the meter index and the
remote index are always identical. The integrity and the reliability of this data is key for
use in billing applications:
ª The register is equipped with a non magnetic target. Hence, magnetic tampering is
impossible and the meter is insensitive to 2500 gauss magnets (non-magnetic metal
plated sector)
ª The Cyble target does not influence the metrology of the meter. The register is
insensitive to vibrations (to send an output signal, a complete revolution must be
completed).
TARGET DETECTION
Cyble MIU measures the dampening of the Electromagnetic field:
Coil Oscillations
Coil Coil
Undamped coil Damped coil

The target is not under the coil The target is under the coil
If there is no Target in front of the coils of the Cyble MIU, the generated oscillation is
self damped within a time T. When the Target is in front of a coil of the Cyble MIU, the
induction creates a surface current in the Target (called an eddy current) which has the
effect of opposing the induction and therefore dampens the oscillation faster, within
time T’ < T.

Field Work Management
With Frontline
The effective management of field work is a key element to ensure

control over metering assets. Past experience has shown that one
of the critical breakdown points of a works order management
system is the integrity of the field data. A paper-based system does
not allow validation of a field record at the metering point, where
the record is actually updated. Data capturing errors needs to be
corrected through a costly revisit.
Frontline was born through the field experienced gained by Itron
in many turnkey meter installation/ replacements and revenue
protection projects. It combines the advantages of a works order
management system with an electronic paperless solution for the
capturing and processing of all field data.
THE BIGGER PICTURE Management is all about information, being
