GFM 100 & GFM - 200
GAS, AIR & STEAM FLOW METERING SYSTEM.
GFM 100 & GFM - 200
GAS, AIR & STEAM FLOW METERING SYSTEM.
INTRODUCTION:
Use our GFM series flow meter for measuring flow rates of
bio-gas, LPG, compressed air, steam (saturated &
superheated) in closed pipes. The flow meter is suited for wide
range of applications where affordability, reliability and
ruggedness are of prime importance.
In conventional system of measurement, the differential
pressure generated by orifice plate is measured by D.P.
transmitter. The output from D.P. transmitter after square
rooting is accepted as proportional to flow - rate. This
assumption is true only when density is constant.
Unfortunately, density of compressible fluid is never
constant. The density of compressible fluid changes with line
pressure & line temperature. Thus, introducing errors in flow
rate measurement.
MANAS MAKE GFM FLOW METERING SYSTEM:
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION:
GFM series provides on - line density correction to
conventional system.
As per BS 1042 / ISO : 5167 standard, the equation for
mass flow when measured with orifice states:
Qm
r . DP
Where,
Qm = mass flow rate.
r = instantaneous density.
DP = differential pressure.
Thus, by measuring line pressure & temperature & using
the relevant algorithms, instantaneous density can be found
out & also the state of steam (i.e. saturated / superheated) .By
knowing the correct density one can compute the accurate
mass-flow rate. The further operation of integration, square
rooting is similar to ordinary flow Totaliser.
We, at MANAS understand our users' needs & hence offer
two models for orifice flow meter: GFM100 for Biogas, LPG &
air application & GFM 200 specifically for steam.
In GFM 200 the hardware like valve, temperature-sensing
elements etc can be provided with IBR approval.
The complete GFM system is provided in chemically
compatible material with the fluid and includes all the
necessary hardware for the installation. Since the density
calculations for steam and gases differ, the computing units
used for GFM100 & GFM200 are different. GFM series can
also be used for flow measurement of non-compressible
fluids like water, furnace oil etc. which increases its versatility.
PRINCIPAL ADVANTAGES OF GFM SERIES:
1. On - line density compensation possible because of online temperature & pressure measurement.
2. Various sizes of orifice assemblies available with
accurate calculations
3. Various types of needle valves, gate valves & manifolds
with or without IBR approval as per application.
4. Sturdy, rugged field mounting type pressure transmitter
is supplied with standard end connections.
5. On - line display of compensated mass flow rates,
density, temperature; output of DP transmitter is offered.
LED indication for status of steam (saturated or
superheated) is provided.
6. Various models of mass flow integrators (computing
units) CS-3001,CS-3002, CS-3003 available to suit
your application.
7. User friendly. No need to feed all the complicated orifice
constants since the system is intelligent enough to
calculate.
8. Isolated 4-20mA dc output proportional to compensated
flow rate.
9. Disconnection of DPT, PT, Temperature sensor or TT is
indicated by error message.
10. Partial system available to suit your existing
uncompensated flow rate using existing orifice & DP
transmitter or vortex flow meter.
11. Complete system engineered to suit your requirement.
12. Typical Turndown 10:3.
13. Accuracy: 3% of actual reading.
14. It is a standard system & highly reliable.
15. It is easy to maintain. Calibration of orifice, DP
transmitter, pressure transmitter is easy & inexpensive.
16. No moving parts.

MANAS MAKE INTEGRAL ORIFICE ASSEMBLY :
The INTEGRAL ORIFICE ASSEMBLY is a flow element
capable of adapting to DP transmitter to make a compact,
complete flow metering transmitting device without the need
of separate impulse piping.
ADVANTAGES OF INTEGRAL ORIFICE :
1. It provides simple & cost-effective solution.
2. Increase in reliability.
3. Installation cost reduces.
4. Time is saved because the unit is supplied as one
complete solution.
5. Available in sizes from to 1 .
APPLICATION :
GFM series is most suitable for compressible fluids,
which are difficult to measure because of variations in their
pressure and temperature.
IDEAL FOR :
l Sectors generating & consuming steam.
l Measuring compressor efficiency.
l Measuring biogas, LPG consumption & many other
similar applications.
