HUAYI High-Pressure Natural Gas Regulating & Metering Skid is designed for high-pressure natural gas transmission, distribution and industrial gas supply applications. The integrated system can combine gas filtration, gas heating, ultrasonic flow metering, pressure regulation, instrumentation, valves and process piping within a factory-assembled skid-mounted configuration.
A reference project configuration is designed for a rated gas flow of 170,000 Nm³/h, with an inlet working pressure of 6.3–8.8 MPa, a design pressure of 9.9 MPa and an outlet working pressure of 4–6 MPa. Final process parameters, equipment arrangement and component selection are engineered according to project-specific gas conditions, operating requirements and applicable specifications.
Product Overview
HUAYI High-Pressure Natural Gas Regulating & Metering Skid is an integrated gas handling system designed for high-pressure natural gas transmission, distribution and industrial gas supply applications.
The system can integrate gas filtration, gas heating, ultrasonic flow metering, pressure regulation, instrumentation, valves and process piping within a skid-mounted configuration. It is particularly suitable for applications involving high inlet pressure, large gas flow rates and project-specific downstream pressure requirements.
Each system is engineered according to the required gas flow rate, inlet and outlet pressures, gas composition, operating temperature, metering requirements, site conditions and applicable project specifications.

Key Functions
Gas Filtration
Vertical gas filters remove solid particles and other impurities from the natural gas stream to help protect downstream metering, pressure regulating and process equipment. The filtration arrangement is selected according to gas conditions and project requirements.
Gas Heating
Hot-water circulation heat exchangers provide gas preheating and temperature control where required. This helps manage the gas temperature reduction associated with pressure regulation under high-pressure operating conditions.
Ultrasonic Flow Metering
Ultrasonic flow meters provide gas flow measurement for high-pressure and large-flow applications. The final metering configuration, meter specification and measurement requirements are determined according to the project flow range, operating conditions and applicable standards.
Pressure Regulation
Multiple pressure regulators provide controlled pressure reduction according to the required inlet and outlet operating conditions. The final regulator arrangement and control philosophy are determined during project engineering.
Instrumentation and Control
Pressure and temperature monitoring instruments, valves and associated control components can be integrated into the skid according to project requirements. Interface requirements with the customer's control system can be defined during technical clarification.
