FLOW CONDITIONING AND EFFECTS ON ACCURACY FOR FLUID FLOW MEASUREMENT Over the last several years research has shown that by improving on the flow conditioners used in natural gas metering applications, measurement is improved and installation cost can be reduced. The standards developed for orifice meters (AGA 3/API 14.3 and ISO 5167) addresses the question of flow conditioner design and testing to ensure the meter…

INTELLIGENT ELECTRONIC FLOW MEASUREMENT DATA COMMUNICATION The gas industry today has many systems and processes that are artifacts of non-telemetered chart recorders and the manual collection and analysis of electronic flow measurement (EFM) data. As operational and regulatory drivers increase the demand for rapid publishing of measurement data, the corporate EFM stack (layered systems) must be aware of each layer within…

UNDERSTANDING AGA REPORT NO. 10, SPEED OF SOUND IN NATURAL GAS AND OTHER RELATED HYDROCARBON GASES The speed of sound in natural gas is the velocity a sound wave travels in the gas. There are a number of gas properties that affect the speed of sound and they include the composition of the gas, the pressure of the gas and the temperature of the gas. The American Gas Association Report No.…

BASIC ELECTRONICS FOR FIELD MEASUREMENT The three basic laws we will discuss are Ohm’s law, Kirchhoff’s voltage law, and Kirchhoff’s current law. The main terms used are voltage (units are Volts), current (units are Amps or milliamps), and resistance (units are ohms). These terms by themselves are meaningless unless a relationship can be established. An analogy that we can use…

OVERVIEW OF AGA 7 REVISION Just when you thought you knew everything there was to know about Turbine meter measurement, wham, out comes a revised AGA 7 standard. Now those basic principles are all still valid but maybe those operating practices we have built into our operating procedures need a little review. Rather than proceed as generations have done before…

SCADA AND TELEMETRY IN GAS TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS SCADA systems provide for safe, reliable, semi-efficient operation of gas transmission systems. Advanced applications and interfaces to business systems provide the keys for highly profitable operation. This paper introduces the basic building blocks of the SCADA system, including field devices. The SCADA host and advanced applications are discussed in detail. The paper concludes with a…

IMPROVING FLOW MEASUREMENTS WITH IMPROVED CALIBRATION AND DATA HANDLING PROCEDURES The back office gas measurement analyst requires a completely different set of skills to interpret and understand the information documented by the field regarding testing and calibration procedures. The task for the measurement analyst is to absorb the wealth of information presented, and utilize their extensive knowledge base in determining when a current month adjustment…

“UNACCOUNTED GAS STUDY IN DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS” In the Gas Distribution business Unaccounted Gas is referred to by various names or terms such as: Lost and Unaccounted-For, LUG, L&U, and UAF. In simplest terms, Unaccounted Gas is the result of the formula “gas receipts minus gas deliveries”. For the Measurement Group the process amounts to a “gas inventory reconciliation” based on the…

AGA CALCULATIONS – 1985 STANDARD VS 1992 STANDARD This paper is intended to help bridge the gap between the Old AGA-3 equation (hereafter referred to as AGA-3-1985) and the New AGA-3 equation (hereafter referred to as AGA-3-1992). As such the paper begins with a background section aimed at assisting those who are mostly familiar with the factored form of the orifice metering equation.
