RITTER TG Drum-Type Gas Meters

Primary-standard volumetric gas measurement – accurate, reproducible, independent

Direct volumetric measurement you can rely on

RITTER TG drum-type gas meters operate on a true volumetric displacement principle. Gas volume is measured directly by a rotating drum immersed in a sealing liquid — not inferred from heat capacity, gas flow rate, temperature, pressure, or gas composition.

As a result, TG meters deliver highly reproducible and traceable results, independent of gas type, humidity, temperature fluctuations, or contaminants.


Technical Highlights

  • High measurement accuracy
    ±0.2 % at nominal flow rate; approx. ±0.5 % across the entire measuring range
  • Wide flow range
    Models covering 1 L/h up to 18,000 L/h, enabling precise measurement from low lab flow rates to industrial flow rates
  • Gas-independent performance
    Suitable for pure gases, gas mixtures, humid gases, aggressive or corrosive media
  • Material flexibility
    Drum and housing available in PVC, PP, PVDF, electrically conductive PE-el or stainless steel — optimized for chemical resistance and long-term stability
  • Exceptional durability
    Welded drum construction using identical materials ensures long service life even in demanding laboratory and industrial environments
  • Optional digital integration
    Pulse generator, electronic display and PC connection via RIGAMO software for automated data acquisition and long-term monitoring

Typical Scientific Applications

  • Calibration of flow meters and gas sensors
  • Environmental and emission measurements
