Sensus R275TC-3/4 Meter
The Sensus R275TC-3/4 Meter is a heavy-duty residential gas meter engineered for accurate fuel measurement in varying environmental conditions. Featuring built-in temperature compensation, this unit utilizes a mechanical tangent to adjust the stroke of the diaphragm, ensuring precise natural gas measurement by correcting volume to a 60°F base regardless of ambient temperature fluctuations. With a 275 CFH capacity at 1/2-inch water column differential, this meter is built with a rugged die-cast aluminum housing to withstand professional field use. The 3/4-inch NPT connections allow for seamless integration into standard residential gas piping systems. Contractors rely on the R275TC for its positive displacement design, providing long-term measurement stability and high sensitivity to low flow rates. This meter is designed for durability and ease of installation, making it the preferred choice for utilities and HVAC technicians requiring a high-capacity diaphragm meter that maintains accuracy across a wide temperature range.
Key Benefits
- Automatic Temperature Compensation: Ensures accurate billing and volume measurement by correcting for gas density changes in outdoor installations.
- High Flow Capacity: Rated for 275 cubic feet per hour, making it suitable for modern homes with multiple high-BTU gas appliances.
- Corrosion-Resistant Housing: Finished with a protective coating to prevent oxidation and extend the service life of the unit in harsh environments.
- Standardized 6-Inch Center-to-Center: Facilitates quick replacement of existing residential meters without the need for extensive pipe reconfiguration.
- Advanced Diaphragm Design: Utilizes high-quality synthetic materials for consistent performance and minimal pressure drop across the internal valves.
Common Questions
What is the maximum operating pressure for the Sensus R275TC?
This meter is typically rated for a maximum allowable operating pressure of 5 PSIG, making it ideal for standard low-pressure residential gas services.
Does this meter require a specific orientation for the temperature compensator to function?
The meter must be installed in an upright, level position to ensure the internal tangent mechanism and diaphragm strokes operate accurately for the temperature correction logic.
Can the Sensus R275TC be used with propane (LPG) instead of natural gas?
Yes, this diaphragm meter is compatible with both natural gas and propane, though flow capacity ratings will differ based on the specific gravity of the gas being measured.
