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 with Anti-Reset safety locks, battery life optimization up to 15 years, 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 and EN 17526 accuracy over 15 years.

🌱 Patented 100% H2-Ready & Gas Composition Analysis

Proprietary digital signal processing algorithms dynamically track sound speed changes, accurately metering 100% CH4, biomethane, H2/CH4 blends, and 100% pure H2 without recalibration while adjusting Gross Heating Value (GHV).

📡 Ultra-Low-Power Dual-Mode Telemetry

Integrated LoRaWAN and NB-IoT transceivers penetrate deep into subterranean vaults. Meters broadcast encrypted daily consumption figures, micro-leak warnings, and seismic alarms across a 15-year battery lifespan.

Got Questions? We Have Answers.

1

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

+
We design and build industrial hardware. That covers four to eight layer PCBs laid out in Altium, firmware written in C for ARM chips, and radio modems tested for hazardous IECEx Zone 1 locations. We take projects from initial schematics through bench calibration and factory manufacturing.
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. Developed on the foundation of Granted Patent No. 114282 invented by Mehdi Kaviany Cheraty, it utilizes transit-time ultrasonic flow sensing to offer zero-wear measurement accuracy over a 15+ year operational lifespan. Crucially, the Series-U is natively '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. While conventional meters suffer severe measurement drift under hydrogen injection due to dramatic changes in sound velocity and compressibility, Series-U leverages patented acoustic multi-parameter tracking to perform real-time composition identification. Onboard math solves AGA8 and GERG-2008 equations in real time. It calculates heating value in megajoules directly at the pipe, preventing billing disputes during gas composition changes.
4

How do your devices connect to smart grid networks?

+
Our instruments transmit index logs over cellular NB-IoT or LoRaWAN networks. Signals leave basement meters and reach city cell towers reliably. Encrypted index logs upload once daily under AES-128 protection, and operators can trigger remote valve shutdowns via DLMS/COSEM.
5

Do you design hardware for hazardous environments?

+
Absolutely. All electronic stages and gas-wetted transducers are designed in strict adherence to intrinsic safety standards (IEC 60079-11 Ex-ia Group IIC T4, certified for hydrogen-air explosive atmospheres). Products like our Series-U10 Commercial and Industrial models feature IP67-rated die-cast aluminum housings and an automated emergency seismic and micro-leak shut-off valve with an Anti-Reset safety lock, preventing unauthorized reopening after incident events.
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 RTOS and advanced ARM microcontrollers), automotive OBD-II diagnostic equipment complying with ISO 7637, 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.
8

What is the intellectual property and patent status of the Series-U platform?

+
The core acoustic sensing and hydrogen discrimination technology in Series-U meters is protected under official Granted Patent No. 114282 (granted August 8, 2026 by the State Organization for Registration of Deeds and Properties, Industrial Property General Office) entitled 'Smart Ultrasonic Gas Meter with a Mechanism for Detecting and Measuring Natural Gas and Hydrogen Composition', solely owned by Mehdi Kaviany Cheraty. An international patent application is actively in progress under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), supported by the Intellectual Property Management Center of the Vice-Presidency for Science and Technology.
