Sensirion’s innovative and proven microthermal flow modules

Sensirion’s microthermal sensing technology is the ideal choice for high-volume gas metering applications. The large-scale deployment of microthermal gas meter modules started in 2012 and is recording a fast and constantly growing installation base. So far, more than 1 million smart gas meters in Europe already rely on Sensirion technology.

Sensirion’s microthermal gas meter modules offer attractive benefits for gas meter manufacturers, utilities and end users. Novel, competitive and compact designs of MID-compliant gas meters become possible due to the modules’ simplicity and small size, enabling easy logistics and installation in the field, for instance. With Sensirion gas meter modules, the manufacture of gas meters becomes very simple as the entire measurement unit is integrated in a single electronic sensor module with digital interface. In addition, the microthermal measurement principle is a static metering technology with no moving parts and therefore noiseless operation. Utilities and end users can count on the very high reliability and robustness of Sensirion’s microthermal technology, which has already proven itself in demanding automotive, life-critical medical, as well as appliance and laboratory applications. Sensirion’s microthermal technology has the potential to bring the billing of natural gas to a new level, e.g. it lays the basis for the future development of direct energy content monitoring of natural gas in real-time.
