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
rate between 1 to 10 l/hr (0.035 to 0.35 ft
At flow rates greater than 10 l/hr (0.35 ft
unstable and may introduce a small density error. For natural gas with a typical application
density of approximately 0.06 g/cm
1.66 mbar (0.67 in WC) is required to maintain a flow rate of 5 l/hr (0.176 ft
