Fuel gas energy metering: transmission measurement committee report No. 5 (revised)
A.G.A.'s manual helps engineers convert units of gas volume or mass to energy equivalents. The conversions use data associated with volume-metering practices but do not require 1) analytical fractionation of hydrocarbon compounds of a mixed gas or 2) the use of a calorimeter. The manual will facilitate the operation of three meter types already common in the gas industry: 1) orifice meters with circular orifices placed concentrically in a pipeline section and having pressure taps, 2) volume-displacement meters (rotary, diaphragm, etc.) that are designed to index gas volume throughput at prevailing pressure and temperature conditions, and 3) meters designed to measure gas weight throughput (mass meters).
