Applications
The Raychem RPG make residential gas meters (Mechanical standard version) are designed acc. to the European
Standard EN1359 to measure the consumption of gas in households and at other consumers, where the maximum
consumption of all gas appliances does not exceed 2.5 m³/h in case of gas meter G1.6 of the air of density 1.2 kg/m³.
They are suitable to measure the consumption of natural gas, synthetic gases and their mixtures. They can optionally
be equipped with low frequency pulse transmitter or the Post-paid AMR Module manufactured and supplied by
RAYCHEM RPG.

Construction of the gas meter
The gas meter consists of three basic units:
▪ Mechanism assembly / measuring unit body assembly
▪ gas meter steel casing
▪ AMR ready index
Mechanism assembly / measuring unit body assembly
It contains two measuring chambers including diaphragm, distributing duct and control mechanism including
valves and sliders, rocking levers, connecting rods, crank and cam. The mechanism assembly unit is equipped
with a device to prevent the registration of reverse flow according to the norm EN1359.
Gas meter steel casing
It consists two subassemblies, i.e. top case assembly and bottom case. These units are joint hermetically by means
of a casing hoop (sealing band). The following parts belong to the top casing: Stuffing box body with axle as internal
and external change gear / a driving pinion.
Index
It is connected to the top casing with screws and is protected from outside by the index housing, which can be
locked by a seal. The index design allows connecting a Pulse Transmitter or “Raypulse” AMR Module at any time
of the gas meter operation without damaging the seal and thus mechanical gas meter can be converted to smart
gas meter.

Additional equipment
Upon request of our clients the gas meter can be additionally equipped with:
Brass Adaptor – 2 pcs Washer – 2 pcs “Raypulse” - AMR Module
Conformity assessment
Gas meters are required to comply with the 2014/32 / EU (MID) conformity assessment. Proof of conformity assessment
is stamped by the manufacturer. The deadline for reporting to the next metrological control is the separate national
regulations. The conformity assessment will be invalidated if the meter is faulty.
Declaration of conformity
CE -DELARATION OF CONFIRMITY
EN 1359:1999 +A1:2006 as Directive MID (2014/32/EC)
Disposal of Gas Meter:
Material used is non-hardous and can be recycled. Cut/remove sealing band of the meter, separate metal, plastic,
rubber parts and send it for recycling to authorized agencies/recyclers as per relevant state / country legal norms.
