FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF DIAPHRAGM METERS The first gas company in the U.S., The Gas Light Company of Baltimore, Maryland, founded in 1816, struggled for years with financial and technical problems while operating on a “flat rate” basis. Its growth was slow with the charge for gas service beyond the pocketbook of the majority

INSPECTION OF REGULATORS & RELIEF VALVES Regulators and Over Pressure Protection Devices (OPPD) must be inspected in accordance to Federal and State Law and Company policy. Over pressure protection devices are devices that protect the downstream piping in the event of a regulator failure. These devices include a relief valve, a monitor regulator, or a positive pressure shut off. In Texas,…

TRANSFER PROVING Transfer proving was initially developed to provide an easier and more accurate field meter proving method. Because of the capacity capabilities of transfer provers (2000 CFH to 80,000 CFH) transfer provers are utilized in meter shops where bell prover capacity is limited and allow for shop testing of the larger capacity meters

LOCAL AND WIDE AREA NETWORKING OF GAS FLOW COMPUTERS Communication has been around ever since man developed language and hand signs to exchange and share ideas. Smoke signals were used in the ancient world to send information from one place to another. In fact, a smoke signal is one form of wireless digital communication. The advance in modern communication, network and computer technology has…

ONSITE PROVING OF GAS TURBINE METERS With the increased use of Natural Gas as a fuel, higher natural gas prices, and the new federal regulations, buyers and sellers of natural gas are seriously looking at ways to improve their natural gas measurement and reduce the unaccounted for natural gas. An error in measurement of only one tenth of one percent (0.1%)…

HYDROGEN SULFIDE MEASUREMENT AND DETECTION The impetus for measuring and detecting hydrogen sulfide, H2S, as it relates to the production and distribution of natural gas, is rooted in two primary concerns. The first concern deals with protecting personnel from the lethal effects of H2S. Typically, the maximum pipeline H2S concentration is around 0.25 grains per 100 SCF, nominally 4 ppm/volume.…

ADVANCES IN NATURAL GAS SAMPLING TECHNOLOGY The analysis of natural gas plays an important role in determining its monetary value. Natural gas is bought and sold based on its energy content and volume. The energy content or heating value is computed directly from the analysis. Physical constants of the gas, which are necessary to accurately determine its volume, are also computed…

VERIFYING GAS CHROMATOGRAPH AT CUSTODY TRANSFER LOCATIONS On-line Chromatographs are commonly used to determine the individual components of a natural gas stream. The individual components are then used to calculate Btu and Specific Gravity. The chromatographic data is combined with flow rate data to calculate a total energy value. The energy value is then used for custody transfer. Accurate chromatograph data is…
