Drum-type Gasmeters TG-Series (Wet-Type)
Packing Liquids Autin-B
1. General
Autin-B is a Paraffin Oil (white oil) without Polyolefin. It is colourless, clear and odourless.
2. Application
Autin-B can be used in all RITTER Drum-type Gas Meters. As opposed to water as a Packing Fluid, Autin-B can be used under 0°C as well. It also has a lower evaporation rate. Because of this, the Packing Liquid level remains stable over a longer period of time. This leads to an improvement in the repeatability of measurement results, and in a reduction in the required frequency of Packing Liquid level monitoring.
The use of Autin-B is further recommended when the gas should remain dry or when the gas
reacts with water.
Not appropriate for chlorine gas.
3. Advantages
- Use under 0°C
- less evaporation than water due to its lower vapour pressure, resulting in greater stability of the Packing Fluid level and in more consistent measurement result
- the gas remains dry
- in general, a lower chemical reactivity with water
