2 BCC estimates the global market for gas flow meters, sensors, monitors, and secondary flow instrumentation at about $3.6 billion in 2009 and $3.9 billion in Growing at a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%, the market should approach $5.2 billion by Introduction Gas flow meters are the instruments that are used to measure the linear, nonlinear, mass, or volumetric flow rate of a gas whereas, Gas sensors/monitors are the devices that undergo a reversible physical or chemical change in response to the presence of a gas, so as to give a signal (usually electrical) that is transmitted, displayed, or used to operate alarms and controls Secondary instruments refers to the that are used to convert the information sensed by and transmitted from the flow meter or gas sensor/monitor into actionable data and information (e.g., gas temperature, pressure, and density). The use of gas meters, sensing and monitoring equipment is dictated in some applications by process technology and economics. In other applications, environmental and safety regulations specify the use of gas detectors in certain types of facilities and for certain types of toxic and combustible gases. Major application areas for gas sensors and meters include custody (ownership) transfer of natural gas, stack gas monitoring, flue gas monitoring, utilities applications, CNG, and low flow rate gas applications. A variety of sensors is used to detect flammable gases. There are also many different flammable conditions, each requiring a specific type of sensor in order to be accurately measured. New sensor technologies, such as miniaturized photo ionization detectors (PIDs) for volatile organic compound (VOC) measurement, non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) sensors for CO2 or combustible gas, and additional types of substance-specific electrochemical sensors, are available for incorporation into multi-sensor portable instruments. BCC Research report -IAS012B provides the information about the considerable changes that gas flow meters and gas flow sensors and monitors has experienced in the last 5 years, including internal changes (e.g., as a result of technological developments) and external shifts. The report is useful to anyone concerned with the manufacturing, marketing, operation, and maintenance of gas metering and gas sensing/monitoring systems. The information for the report has been collected through primary as well as the secondary research methodologies by conducting an extensive international user survey and supplementing the earlier survey s findings with a literature review and key-informant interviews.
