The rotary gas meters CGR-FX allows temperature measurements only when delivered as a special order version; temperature measurements are not available in the standard version. Temperature probes are not a part of the meter with the temperature tapping and it is necessary to order them separately.
  • Page 14 The outputs are used to connect pressure transducers, either directly to the socket (Fig. 6b) or via three-way valves. Outputs that are not in use are blinded with plugs (Fig. 6a). Both plugs and sockets may be protected by installation seals. CGR-FX / OM 16-06 June 2016...

Basic dimensions of CGR-FX rotary gas meters. The user should be aware of certain risks associated with changes in the gas flow intensity. If the gas flow was relatively low for a long time after system initiation, the assembly-related contaminants (e.g.

  • Page 28 Common S.A. may design and deliver appropriate orifice at customer's request. Counter readout correctness should be checked after installing the gas meter. Every barrel of the counter should turn smoothly and a full turn of a barrel should turn the neighbouring left barrel by 1/10 of a full turn.
  • Page 29: Operation Monitoring, Maintenance, Failures, Repairs

    If the counter is not equipped with a HF emitter, an external HF emitter (type CHFI-04 by COMMON S.A.) should be connected to act as a control element (Fig. 17). For more information on the HF transmitter type CHFI-04 in Chapter VIII. ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT.
  • Page 30 The gas meters CGR-FX are complete with a system for lubrication of rotors and inner gears. The remaining mechanisms are furnished with bearings complete with lubricant reserves. Therefore, the only activity required for the maintenance of the gas meters is the monitoring of the oil level and possibly oil refill.
  • Page 31: Additional Equipment

    Before starting the oil refill procedure, stop the flow of the gas in the measurement system and wait several minutes until the oil level is stabilized in the gas meter. Fig. 18. Oil refill procedure in pressurized conditions. CGR-FX / OM 16-06 June 2016...
  • Page 32 Fig. 19. CHFI-04 replaceable HF transmitter Internal by-pass CGR-FX Rotary Meters may be provided with internal by-pass, as an option. The by- pass is designed so as to provide continuous gas flow in case of meter failure (blockage of rotors) . When a failure situation occurs the membrane breaks and opens the gas flow through the by-pass that omits the meter measurement chamber.
