BK-G10 and BK-G16

BK-G10T and BK-G16T

Compact commercial diaphragm gas meters

Applications Main features

Media: natural gas, town gas, propane, butane, air * • MID conformity approved by PTB
Industry: gas supply
• Approved to EN 1359
Tasks: gas measurement at operating conditions **
by German DVGW
• Flow rates from
Brief information 0.1 m3/h to 16 m3/h (G10)
The commercial diaphragm gas meter BK-G10 and BK-G16 meet the highest demands 0.16 m3/h to 25 m3/h (G16)
with respect to accuracy of measurement and safety. They combine innovative features
• Cyclic volume 6 liters
with many decades of gas measurement know-how. The BK-G10 and BK-G16 are sup-
T-version 5.6 liters
plied in folded form as co-axial and two-pipe versions.
• Maximum operating pressure 0.5 bar
The stroke of the diaphragms is pneumatically stopped and therefore ensures both low
• Fire resistant (HTB) up to 0.1 bar
bearing loads and a quiet operation.
according to EN 1359
The stadium-shaped synthetic diaphragm is dimensionally stable.
• High accuracy and long-term stability
High-grade materials and components as well as the patented curve K-system ensure a

high quality standard.
• Standard pulse magnet,
The K-system perfectly coordinates the movement of the valves with the actual gas flow to retrofitable LF pulser (l=0.1 m3/pulse)
the measuring chambers. This ensures excellent linearity even when using small valves. • Not susceptible to contamination
(RPF=0.8)
Due to the optimised slides, Qmin of BK-G10 and BK-G16 is stable and the gas meter is
not susceptible to contamination (RPF 0.8 to BS4161). The measuring unit is adjusted by a • Temperature range:

Although the design of the BK-G10 and BK-G16 is very robust, the gas meters are still • Temperature compensation available
measuring instruments and as such should be handled with care.
• Intelligent index technology,
Operating principle Chekker system, Absolute-ENCODER
Four measuring chambers are separated by synthetic diaphragms. The chambers are and radio applications
filled and emptied periodically, and the movement of the diaphragms is transferred via a
gear to the crankshaft. This shaft moves the valves, which control the gas flow. The rota-
tions of the gear are transferred via a magnetic coupling to the index.

The temperature compensation facility of the BK-G10T and BK-G16T ensures via a bimetal-
lic element that the stroke of the diaphragms is adapted to the current gas temperature.
