Format：EL4801
The EL4801 calorie computer is a digital instrument designed with the latest electronic technology to fulfill the demand for faster calorimetry. The EL4801 calculates the calorific value of natural gas or city gas using the sonic velocity measured by an ultrasonic flowmeter. This instrument is also capable of simultaneous flow rate calculation by the flow velocity measured with the ultrasonic flowmeter.
Densitometers are commonly used for calorimetry of city gas and natural gas that does not include inert gas by using the correlation between molecular weight (density) of the gas and calorific value. This calorie computer, however, calculates calorific value by utilizing the correlation between molecular weight and sonic velocity as well as the correlation between process temperature/pressure and calorific value as computational logic.
This calorie computer was co-developed with Osaka Gas Co., Ltd.
Note: This computer is a dedicated computer for the ultrasonic flowmeter of OVAL product.
1. One-second (approx.) response and accurate calorimetry
The computational logic based on actual measurement values enables fast and accurate measurement.
2. Simultaneous measurement of calorie and flow rate
By measuring sonic velocity and flow velocity, both calorie and flow rate can be calculated at the same time.
3. No ancillary equipment cost required
As long as an ultrasonic flowmeter is installed on the process side, no ancillary equipment, gas decompression, or diffusion/ recovery is necessary.
4. Indicated values can be saved for an extended period to an external storage such as USB memory.
5. Up to four measurements out of temperature, pressure, calorific value, specific gravity, and flow rate are available for analog output (4-20mA/1-5V).

*1: At low temperature, measured gas may condensate. Please take necessary measures to prevent gas condensation in the process.
*2: “Calibration point” refers to the measuring conditions during on-site calibration, including temperature, pressure, and calorific value of the gas.
• Due to the principle of measurement, we recommend re-calibration to prevent meter error in case temperature, pressure, or gas composition fluctuates drastically from the
calibration point.
• Indicated calorific value may fluctuate as the result of thermometer or pressure meter alteration, or change in gas composition. In case the fluctuation of indicated calorific value exceeds the calorimetric accuracy, please confirm the reproducibility of the process.
• Interfusion of inert gas (N2, CO2, etc.) may cause meter error.
• Consult OVAL when using at the temperature lower than 0°C.
