Smart Gas Metering & Industrial IoT Technical Guide

Welcome to the T.S.P. Co. Technical Knowledge Base. Our solid-state ultrasonic metering systems and industrial IoT infrastructure are designed to solve the critical challenges facing modern gas distribution networks—including hydrogen transition (H2NG blends up to 100%), remote valve control, battery life optimization, and high-precision metrology compliance. Explore our technical answers below or contact our hardware engineering team for custom R&D partnerships.

🔬 Transit-Time Ultrasonic Metrology

High-frequency acoustic transducers measure gas velocity with zero moving parts, eliminating mechanical wear and maintaining OIML R137 Class 1.5 accuracy over 15 years.

🌱 100% H2-Ready & Blend Calibration

Proprietary speed-of-sound algorithms dynamically adjust for changing gas compositions, seamlessly metering 100% CH4, H2/CH4 blends, or pure H2 without recalibration.

📡 Ultra-Low-Power Cellular Telemetry

Integrated dual-mode NB-IoT and LoRaWAN transceivers enable encrypted daily billing reports, leak alarms, and remote valve shutoff with 10+ year battery endurance.

Got Questions? We Have Answers.

1

What core services does T.S.P. Co. provide?

+
We specialize in the full-cycle development of critical electronic infrastructure and high-precision instrumentation. Our engineering services range from high-density, multi-layer PCB design (impedance-matched, high-speed differential routing in Altium Designer) to bare-metal firmware and RTOS embedded systems development (ARM Cortex-M/A processors). We also design ruggedized, industrial-grade IoT solutions featuring integrated NB-IoT, LoRaWAN, and M-Bus telemetry modules, certified for IECEx Zone 1 hazardous environments.
2

What is the Series-U Smart Ultrasonic Gas Meter?

+
The Series-U is our flagship solid-state metering platform, engineered specifically to replace legacy diaphragm and rotary meters. Utilizing transit-time ultrasonic flow sensing, it offers zero-wear measurement accuracy over a 15+ year operational lifespan. Crucially, the Series-U is 'H2-Ready', featuring active speed-of-sound gas property tracking that accurately measures natural gas, biomethane, and hydrogen blends (0% to 100% H2) without requiring physical component modification or recalibration.
3

Are your metering solutions ready for the Hydrogen Economy?

+
Yes, all Series-U smart gas meters are engineered from the ground up to support the global energy transition toward Net Zero carbon emissions. Our acoustic transducers and DSP algorithms are calibrated according to ISO 17025 metrology standards to handle complex gas mixtures, including 20% Hydrogen-Natural Gas blends (H2NG) and up to 100% pure hydrogen networks, ensuring complete future-proofing for utility operators.
4

How do your devices connect to smart grid networks?

+
Our devices integrate secure, ultra-low-power dual-mode IoT communication modules supporting LoRaWAN (Class A/C) and NB-IoT / LTE-M cellular protocols with optional fallback to Wireless M-Bus (868 MHz / 915 MHz). This ensures exceptional sub-surface signal penetration in basement installations, enabling daily billing data transmission, tamper alerts, and bi-directional DLMS/COSEM encrypted commands for Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI).
5

Do you design hardware for hazardous environments?

+
Absolutely. Industrial and commercial smart meters operate under stringent explosive safety mandates. Products like our Series-U10 Commercial and Industrial models feature IP67-rated die-cast aluminum housings and intrinsically safe circuitry designed in accordance with IECEx Zone 1 and ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU requirements, ensuring maximum operational safety in volatile gas regulation and custody transfer stations.
6

Can T.S.P. Co. assist with custom embedded systems or medical devices?

+
Yes, T.S.P. Co.'s engineering capabilities extend across high-reliability electronics sectors. Our R&D team has successfully developed mission-critical medical hardware (including kidney dialysis control systems utilizing Linux OS and dual STM32 microcontrollers), automotive OBD-II diagnostic equipment, and KNX protocol-compliant smart building automation modules.
7

Do you offer prototyping and product commercialization services?

+
Yes, we provide end-to-end product commercialization services designed to accelerate time-to-market. Our team manages every milestone—from schematic capture and 3D PCB layout to rapid prototyping, EMC/EMI pre-compliance testing, thermal analysis, firmware flashing, and Design for Manufacturing (DFM) optimization for high-yield automated SMT assembly.
