EFFECTS OF WET GAS FLOW ON GAS ORIFICE PLATE METERS Orifice plate meters are one of the most widely used technologies in industry for gas flow metering. This is due to their relative simplicity, the extensive publicly available data sets that led to several orifice plate meter standards [1, 2, 3, 4] and the fact that they are a relatively inexpensive method of gas metering.…

DEVICES FOR FIELD DETERMINATION OF H2O IN NATURAL GAS H2O vapor is an undesirable component of natural gas. It takes up space in the pipeline and provides no fuel value. In higher concentrations it can condense into liquid water in the pipeline and cause corrosion, especially in the presence of carbon dioxide or H2S. Liquid water can also cause damage to the equipment utilizing…

COMPOSITION ANALYSIS IN PIPELINE GAS & NGL WITH PROCESS MASS SPECTROMETRY Mass Spectrometry (MS) can be found in most industrial laboratories for detailed compositional analysis of process fluids and gases. Though accurate, fast, and complete, laboratory analysis using MS can only provide process information regarding intermediate or final product analysis for quality control programs and production history. MS is currently evolving from a laboratory instrument to…

FUNDAMENTALS OF EGM ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS We have all heard of or seen the devastating effects of a direct lightning burst. Communication equipment destroyed. Transmitters and EFM devices vaporized into slag metal. Complete process and measurement systems down with extended recovery times. These effects are the most dramatic and the easiest to trace. However, these kinds of events are rare. The…

CHARACTERISTICS OF ROTARY METER PERFORMANCE This paper highlights several rotary meter performance characteristics. These characteristics profile a rotary meter’s capabilities in a wide array of applications from production to transmission, and distribution. Most of the characteristics have minimum standards adopted by agencies like AGA or ASTM. I’ll identify these standards, and incorporate them?where applicable?into my paper. In discussing these characteristics,…

FUNDAMENTALS OF ORIFICE RECORDERS The American Gas Association defines the orifice meter as the complete measuring unit consisting of a primary and a secondary measurement device. The orifice meter body, tube and orifice plate are considered the primary measuring device. This primary device is equipped with pressure taps that allow for the hook-up of a secondary device to sense…
