Introduction
Natural gas has an increasing weight as primary energy
22% of energy consumption in Germany
100 Billion cubic meter natural gas / year in Germany
Increase of 30 % within the last 10 years
The exact measurement of natural gas has a commercial relevance
Complete automatic data transmission with metering systems gains

importance in the connection of the liberalisation of the gas market!

Encoder Index
Operating volume measured by the gas meter is always the origin of the
data chain
Transmission to auxiliary devices by pulses

Replica of the meter reading in the Volume Corrector or Data Logger
Sometimes deviations between original meter reading and replica in

auxiliary devices caused by:
Glitches (wrong pulses)
Missing pulses
Backstream volume
Compensation procedures in the piping
Encoder-Technology solves this problem!
