1.1.5 Risk assessment and mitigation
The TRZ04 subjects to risks in its use, which were judged by qualified staff of the company
RMG. Risks may arise due to high pressures, more rarely by too low. Even work outside
the permissible temperature range can lead to danger. Invalid current and voltage values
can trigger explosions in hazardous areas.
The risk assessment assumes that when installing or removing a turbine a draining and
venting of the pipeline takes place. Thus, and only then no explosive gas mixture is in the
pipeline.
Of course (chapter 1.1.4.4 Specialized knowledge required) only work by trained
personnel are permitted, which is also trained to know proper tools and use only this.
These risks have been considered during the development phase and action were taken to
minimize these risks.
Risk mitigation measures:
- All pressurized parts are designed in accordance to AD 2000 regulations, PED
Annex 1
- The complete design being pressurized is verified by the TÜV Hessen
- All pressurized parts are made with material certificate; there is a traceability to the
batch tracking of all pressurized parts
- The mechanical properties of all relevant pressurized components are checked by
tensile testing, impact testing and hardness testing
- In addition, non-destructive testing were applied: X-ray and ultrasonic testing of the
meter housing for defects in material, surface crack detection by magnetic particle
and dye-penetration
- With pressure tests 1.5 times of the intended operating pressure the strength of the
components were verified; leak test were carried out at 1.1 times of the intended
operating pressure. Successful tests were marked
- The maximum operating pressure is stated on the nameplate of the device, as well
as the temperature range. Operation of the device is only permitted within the
indicated ranges.

1.2 Structure of the manual
The introduction of this manual contains two parts. In the first part general guidelines are
listed; the symbols used and structure of advices are given, but also issued is a risk
assessment. In addition, it contains guidelines for the transport and storage of the TRZ04.
The second part introduces the operation of TRZ04; there are basic standards listed;
pressure and temperature ranges are given limiting the use of the TRZ04.
The second chapter describes the use of TRZ04. It explains how a high accuracy can be
achieved, how data can be received by the encoder and tapped there. The third chapter
provides recommendations on how the current operation can be ensured. These include
the accuracy influencing flow disturbances as well as regular lubrication of the bearings of
the turbine meter.
The fourth chapter describes the marking of the TRZ04 and in the fifth the technical data of
TRZ04 are summarized. The appendix includes details to the previous chapters, a
summary of certificates and approvals.
1.3 Overview, Function and Application
The TRZ 04 and TRZ 04-K are used to measure volume flow rates of non-aggressive
gases and fuel gases, especially natural gas. Measurement of corrosive gases is only
possible with special designs. The measurement of liquids is not possible and will destroy
the device.
The TRZ 04 is a flow rate meter, which can be used for custody transfer flow rate
measurement. The TRZ 04 K, however, can only be used for operational volume flow rate
measurements. Both types measure the gas quantity, means the volume flowing through
the unit at the actual pressure and temperature. Both determine the volume flow rate at the
actual conditions. The volume flow rate of the gas flowing through the meter is indicated by
a mechanical totalizer operating in m³.
In addition, the turbine can be equipped to supply high or low frequency pulses and reed
contacts can be fitted, too. The measured number of pulses are proportional to the volume
that has passed the meter. These pulses can be further processed by volume correctors or
remote totalizers.
The most important differences between the versions TRZ 04 und TRZ 04-K are:

1.4 Method of operation
The method of operation of the mechanical turbine meter is based on the measurement of
the gas velocity. The velocity of the gas flowing through the gas meter is increased in the
flow straightener and the gas strikes the turbine wheel in a defined flow cross section. In
the flow straightener, unwanted vortices, turbulences and asymmetries are removed or
reduced. The turbine wheel is mounted axially, while the blades of the turbine wheel are
arranged at a certain angle to the gas flow. Within the measuring range (Qmin - Qmax),
the rotational speed of the turbine wheel is almost proportional to the mean gas velocity
and, therefore, to the rate of flow. The number of rotations is a measure of the volume that
has flowed through. The rotary movement of the turbine wheel is transmitted by a
magnetic coupling to the unpressurized meter head. Downstream of the coupling, there is
a gearing which reduces the rotational speed of the turbine wheel to match the mechanical
totalizer. Two LF pulse transmitters (reed contacts) and a tamper contact are located on
the totalizer.
Figure 1: Sectional drawing of a turbine meter.
Downstream of the turbine wheel, a cam wheel (reference wheel) is located on the same
shaft. Two HF sensors (proximity switches) generate a signal if a blade of the turbine
wheel (HF 3-D) or a cam of the reference wheel (HF 2-D) passes them. In this way, two
pulse sequences are generated which are out of phase. The generated pulses can be
further processed for secondary volume measurements or flow measurements.
