Brief information

Honeywell Elster TRZ2 turbine gas meters are robust meters used to accurately
and reliably measure gas consumption in gas distribution, industrial plants or for
commercial users. Over decades they have proven to be highly accurate from the
first calibration on to the end of their lifetime many years later. This is why leading
gas distribution companies around the globe rely on the TRZ2 for their standard gas
metering applications.

The patented Honeywell Elster metering cartridge enables repeatable measurement

results even under non-ideal inlet flow condition and additionally reduces service
time in the field significantly in case the cartridge shall be replaced. Due do its design F E AT U R E S & B E N E F I T S
ambient condition changes (e.g. a drop in temperature) have minimal impact on the
meter performance as the cartridge is decoupled from the meter body.
