Earlier this year, the gas meter modules SGM70xx from the leading Swiss sensor manufacturer Sensirion have achieved an evaluation certification in accordance with the harmonized standards EN 14236 and OIML R 137 for natural gas type H. This evaluation certification was now upgraded to natural gas type L. The evaluation certificate makes it easier and faster for gas meter manufacturers to obtain MID approval for gas meters using the SGM70xx sensor module as core metrological unit.

Sensirion as the leading manufacturer of microthermal gas meter modules has recently launched the standard product SGM70xx, which is highly suitable for use in smart gas meters. So far, over 500 000 residential and industrial gas meters have been installed in the field in Italy and Germany using Sensirion microthermal gas flow technology. At the beginning of this year, the gas meter modules SGM70xx achieved an evaluation certification in accordance with the harmonized standards EN 14236 and OIML R 137 for natural gas type H. This evaluation certification by NMi was now upgraded to the natural gas type L. NMi is one of the leading notified bodies in Europe for type approval examination and certification of measuring instruments with an independent ISO 17025 accreditation. The evaluation certificate makes it easier and faster for gas meter manufacturers to obtain MID approval for gas meters using the SGM70xx sensor module as core metrological unit.

Sensirion’s certified SGM70xx standard products are available for class 1.5 type G1.6, G2.5, G4 and G6 gas meters, and feature high reliability, long-term stability, and resistance to contamination. The compact design, the low power consumption and the digital I2C interface allow easy integration and handling into gas meters. Sensirion gas meter modules are temperature-compensated and pressure independent, and are fully calibrated for air and natural gas.
