Hydrogen measurements
RMG Messtechnik GmbH has decades of experience in the field of hydrogen measurement. Since the 1960s, we have developed applications that work with both pure hydrogen and hydrogen-natural gas mixtures. Our expertise spans numerous gas types and different mixing ratios, which enables us to offer high-precision measurement solutions for a wide range of applications.
Our RMG Messtechnik devices for hydrogen measurement RGQ 5 and RGQ 3 enable precise and reliable analysis of hydrogen and hydrogen mixtures. The RGQ 5 is optimized for stationary applications, while the RGQ 3 as a mobile "little brother" offers the same functionality in a portable format. Both devices are specially designed for measuring the Wobbe index and other relevant parameters such as calorific value and density. These hydrogen measuring devices are complemented by the RGC 7 process gas chromatograph, which is ideal for the comprehensive analysis of hydrogen mixtures and their composition. The RGC 7 measuring device from RMG is calibratable and provides precise data for industrial applications. A variant of the RGC 7 (RGC 717) offers hydrogen purity measurement.
As a leading provider of innovative measurement technology, RMG is continuously developing pioneering solutions in the field of hydrogen analysis in order to meet the increasing demands of the energy industry in the long term. Hydrogen measurements are a central component of modern energy technologies, as green hydrogen in particular is playing an increasingly important role in the energy transition. The measurement of hydrogen in its pure form or as a component of gas mixtures requires special expertise and adapted technologies. With our many years of experience and innovative RMG measurement technology, we are able to carry out reliable and precise measurements that meet the increasing demands of the industry.

How does hydrogen measurement work in industry?
Hydrogen measurement in an industrial environment places special demands on the system solutions from RMG Gas Measurement Technology and Gas Measurement Systems. On the one hand, hydrogen has a standard density that is up to eight times lower and, on the other, a speed of sound that is up to four times higher, which presents different requirements in terms of measurement technology than natural gas measurement. In addition, hydrogen has a significantly lower energy density compared to natural gas. While the calorific value of hydrogen is around 12.745 MJ/m³, that of natural gas is up to 46 MJ/m³. These differences require adapted measurement technologies to ensure accurate and reliable analyses.
RMG Messtechnik GmbH relies on technologies that have been tried and tested over many years. Our turbine meters are fully hydrogen-compatible and deliver precise measurement results for volume measurement. Ultrasonic meters are currently being tested in various pilot projects for 100% hydrogen, while they have already been successfully verified for hydrogen/natural gas mixtures of up to 40%. Our flow computers, which are also approved for pure gases such as hydrogen, also play a central role in precise energy measurement.
RMG Messtechnik GmbH offers a comprehensive range of gas measuring instruments for gas analysis, including the RGQ 5, RGQ 3 and RGC 7, which are specially designed for the different requirements of measuring hydrogen and mixed gases. The RGQ 5 and RGQ 3 enable fast and precise determination of the Wobbe index, while the RGC 7 impresses with its ability to perform comprehensive gas analysis and provide essential data such as the calorific value, methane number or Wobbe number.
Robust hydrogen meters combined with innovative analysis technologies ensure precise measurement and high availability even under demanding industrial conditions.

Hydrogen measurement technology for the energy transition
Hydrogen measurements play a crucial role in many industrial applications, particularly with regard to the energy transition and the increased use of hydrogen as an alternative energy source. RMG Messtechnik GmbH offers customized solutions for the precise measurement of hydrogen volume, energy content and gas quality.
Maximum accuracy is essential for volume measurement, as hydrogen has special requirements due to its low energy density compared to natural gas. RMG's turbine meters, which are already fully hydrogen-compatible, enable reliable volume measurements under a wide range of conditions.
Energy measurement is also a key aspect, as the calorific value of hydrogen is significantly lower than that of natural gas and precise hydrogen energy measurement is required for billing-relevant applications. The RMG flow computers, which have been successfully used in pure gas applications for years, provide accurate results and meet the high requirements of the industry.
Finally, gas quality measurement plays an important role in analyzing and monitoring the composition of hydrogen and hydrogen/natural gas mixtures. Hydrogen measurement devices such as the RGQ 5, the RGQ 3 and the RGC 7 are used for this purpose, all of which impress with their precision, reliability and user-friendly operation. The RGC 7, as a process gas chromatograph, provides particularly comprehensive analyses and is an indispensable instrument for calibratable applications.
Our modern hydrogen analyzers are specially designed to meet the high demands of hydrogen analysis and ensure consistent measurement quality even under demanding operating conditions. Our solutions combine precise measurement methods with many years of experience to meet the growing demands of hydrogen technology.
