  • Patent number: 11287296
    Abstract: A magnetic sensor assembly for rotary gas meters includes a counter module electronic volume corrector (“EVC”). In one aspect, the assembly includes a magnetic sensor probe configured to be releasably secured within an aperture of a first gas meter body. The sensor probe may alternatively be positioned within an adapter sleeve. The adapter sleeve is configured to be releasably secured within an aperture of a second gas meter body. In another aspect, the counter module EVC includes a base coupling member, and the assembly includes first and second magnetic sensor probes, the probe being configured to be releasably secured within apertures of first and second gas meter bodies, respectively. Each probe has a probe coupling member that is releasably engagable with the base coupling member.

  • Publication number: 20210262839
    Abstract: A working condition monitoring system for a positive displacement rotary flow meter determines flow rate and differential pressure information for logging to determine a history of such data for a meter in the field. Deviation from good working data established for the meter model may be used such as to indicate maintenance and/or repair needs. Mechanical or other wear in a meter may lead to higher differential pressure measures for a given flow rate (or a lower measured flow rate for a given differential pressure) than is true for a meter in good working order. A corrective factor responsive at least to a current different pressure may be applied to correct a measure of flow rate that is determined in response to a measure of impeller rotation to account for additional flow of gas through the meter that is not driving the impeller(s).
