Black powder, as one of the most critical solid contaminants in natural gas transmission and distribution pipelines, can significantly affect the accuracy of metering equipment. In this study, the influence of black powder particles on the performance of a 2-inch turbine gas meter was investigated through numerical modeling of gas–particle two-phase flow. Simulations were conducted for three types of gas measurement and pressure reduction stations (CGS, TBS, and HM) under summer and winter conditions, and the developed model was validated against laboratory data. The results indicate that, within the typical mass loading range observed in transmission pipelines (10-7 to 10-5), the presence of black powder has a negligible impact on meter accuracy. However, the sensitivity analysis revealed that at mass loading values above approximately m ≈ 1.25, the velocity profile deviates by more than 5%, leading to a noticeable deterioration in meter performance. These findings provide practical guidance on setting contamination limits as well as planning maintenance and monitoring strategies for turbine gas meters.
