NATURAL GAS MEASURMENT (CONT’D)
The method of measuring liquid or gas by
volume is referred to as volumetricmeasurement.
Producers account for gas in units of mcf(1000 cu.ft)
The total mass of a substance in a cu ft of gasdepends partly on its absolute pressure (psia)and partly on temperature (oR).
The American Petroleum Institute (API) and
American Gas Association (AGA), since 1967,have used 14.73 psia and 60of (520oR) as theirstandard (base) conditions.

PRIMARY ELEMENT
The primary element is the differential pressure-
producing device. It composed of the followingparts:
The meter tube – a length of special pipe through which the gas flows.
The orifice plate holding and positioning device-an orifice flange or an orifice filting installed as anintegral part of the meter tube to hold the orificeplate in a position perpendicular and concentric to
the flow of gas. The orifice plate- a flat circular plate with acentrally bored, sharp-edged orifice machined toan exact.

Predetermined dimension that forms acalibrated restriction to the flow of gas throughthe meter tube and is the source of thedifferential.
Pressure taps – Precisely located holesthrough the pipe walls or orifice plate may bemeasured.
Straightening vanes – a device that may beinserted in the upstream section of the metertube swirling in the gas stream.

SECONDARY ELEMENT
The secondary element is called the differential
gauge and is connected to the upstream anddownstream pressure taps of the primaryelement.
It measures the differential pressure and static
pressure which are recorded on a circular chart.

CHART
Two principal types of chart are:
Uniform scale direct – reading chart for differential
pressure – line are spaced on equal distance
Square – root chart – reads the square root of the
percentage of the full scale range of the gauge.
DIRECT – READING CHART
Circular charts for recordity the differential andstatic pressure guages are usually 12 in. in
diameter
Scale ranges for fuel gas metering are given below.

VENTURI METER
The venturi tube operates on exactly the same
principle as the orifice meter. Discharge coefficients of venturi are larger than
those for orifices and vary from about 0.94 to
0.99. It gives a definite improvement in power losses
over an orifice and is often indicated for
measuring very large flow rates where power
losses can become economically significant.
The initial higher cost of a venturi over an orifice
may thus be offset by reduced operating costs.

INSTRUMENT CALIBRATION Calibration entails the adjustment of a measurementdevice so that the value from the measurement device
agrees with the value from a standard. The international science organization (ISO) hasdeveloped a number of standards specially directed tocalibration of measurement devices. Within most companies, the responsibility for
calibration measurement device is delegated to a sspecific department. The frequency of calibration is normallypredetermined but earlier action may be dictated if
the values from the measurement device becomesuspected. Calibration of some measurement devices involvescomparing the measured value with the value fromthe working standard.
