1. Purpose of this Manual The instruction manual is dedicated to technical staff with adequate training and technical knowledge in the sector of gas distribution industry according to the applicable technical laws and requirements. For example staff who are educated according DVGW codes of practices G 492 and / or G495. 2. Basic safety instructions Requirements for the personnel The operational staff must be qualified, instructed and authorized according the assigned functions. All service and maintenance work shall be performed exclusively by persons with proven expert knowledge, including knowledge of occupational safety and environmental protection. Protective actions have to be defined according the legal regulations. Designated use The turbine meter MTM is designed for fiscal or in-plant volume measurement of combustible gases of the 1., 2. and 3. gas family (natural gas, town gas, propane, butane and others),...
3. Declaration Declaration of Conformity (Annex A) 4. Use and Scope The turbine meter MTM is designed for fiscal or in-plant metering of natural gas and approved according the European requirements of EN12261. The MTM turbine meter is suitable to be installed in hazardous area of Category 2 (Zone 1) II 2 G c IIC T4 X. The MTM turbine meter is suitable for the following gases: • Natural gas, town gas, propane, butane, ethylene, air, nitrogen, noble gases • Hydrogen (with reduced measuring range) • conditioned biogas acc. DVGW G260 for combustible gases • Further gases on request. The MTM turbine meter cannot be used for: Oxygen, Acetylene and other aggressive gases as well as for explosive gases or gas mixtures. The meter should not be used in applications with the presence of strong pulsations.
6. Technical Data Meter type MTM turbine meter Approval: MID according DIN EN 12261:2002 “Gas meters – Turbine gas meters”; OIML R137-1&2: 2012 „Gas meters“ Size: G 65 to G 4000 Nominal diameter: DN 50 (3“) to DN 300 (12“) Pressure rating: PN 10 up to PN 100 and ANSI CLASS 150 up to ANSI CLASS 600 Rangeability: 20:1 or higher depending on the operation pressure Temperature ranges:...
• The gas should be dry. If condensate may be occur then the installation of a condensation trap upstream of the meter is recommended (in some filter types it is integrated). In this case choose Flow direction from top to bottom Do Not install the meter at the lowest point of the piping Attention: The MTM turbine meter is not suitable for oxygen and other highly corrosive gases as well as for explosive gases and gas mixtures. 8.
9. Preliminary work Before the installation of the meter make sure that the following steps has been observed: Remove the plastic cover sheets at the inlet and outlet of the meter. 2. Inspect the meter for completeness (e. g. plugs, provided oil volume) and for absence of any transport damages. Clean the flange surfaces (e. g. with petroleum). Check by blowing into the meter that turbine rotor rotates easily and stops smoothly.

10. Lubrication and Maintenance of the MTM turbine meter Turbine meters with permanent lubricated ball bearings (no oil pump) are maintenance-free. Turbine meters with an oil pump need periodic lubrication. The initial lubrication procedure is: Use only oil recommended and supplied by Metreg Technologies. One set of oil for commissioning is delivered with the meter. Specified oil: Shell Morlina S2 BL 5 or Shell Morlina S2 BL 10 Fill in the oil before commissioning the meter and after the correct installation of the meter described in chapter 7 and 8.
2.2. If the gas is carrying dust and/or moisture then the lubrication has to be done at least every month. A repair of the turbine meter has only to be done by competent and authorized personnel like the Service Engineers from Metreg Technologies. Don’t break any seals. If only one of the seals is damaged or broken the meter cannot be used for custody transfer measurements of natural gas according MID (2004 / 22 / EG). 12. Commissioning of the MTM turbine meter Das Anfahren des MTM Turbinenradgaszählers erfolgt nach der Installation und ggf.
14. Pulse Generators Two low frequency (LF) pulse generators are plugged to the meter index head in standard delivery. A third low frequency (LF) pulse generator is optional. The function of these three LF-pulsers is: • 1 LF-pulser for flow measurement • 1 additional LF-pulser for flow measurement (option) • 1 LF-pulser as anti tampering contact.

The connection of the LF pulse transmitter unit is different depending on whether the meter head is made of composite or aluminum. Index head out of composite: The LF-pulser unit comes standard with three meter cable. The cable configuration is as follows: •...
15. Pressure Measuring Point There is a pressure test point within the Pressure test point MTM turbine meter as shown in figure 8. The pressure tap is marked with “p ”. The pressure test point is designed for a connection of steel tubing with a diameter of 6 mm. The steel tubing should be according DIN EN 10305-1 and not made of stainless steel or nonmetallic materials like plastics.
17. Cleaning For cleaning the meter from dust and dirt please do not use any solvents. It is suitable to use a damp cloth only for that purpose. 18. Transport and Storage The turbine meter and accessories shall be stored in the original packaging. Secure the measuring device from rotating or slipping. Be careful during loading and transportation to or from the measuring point. Some requirements for transportation and storage of the meter are: •...
20. Annex B The pulse generators have an own ATEX approval and have the following marking: Pulse generator Sensor type EG Type-Examination Certifcate 94/9EG Identification of the pulse generators LF-pulse generator Reed switch, Connection only magnetically to intrinsically safe circuits triggered when installed in hazardous area HF-pulse generator...
