Abstract: A tremendous growth has been experienced by all major gas transmission companies along with growth in production, transmission and sales, and the cost of wellhead gas has steadily increased. As a result of these factors, the British Thermal Unit or heating value has been incorporated with volume measurement and is practically a standard in all market transactions. As you may readily see, there has been a continual growing demand for many gas companies for apparatus capable of recording an accurate B.T.U. volume. There are at present, two general recognized methods for determing the B.T.U. per cubic foot of natural gas. The first and oldest method is by a manually operated water-flow calorimeter, commonly known as the Junkers, and the other is by the Thomas Recording Gas Calorimeter, manufactured by Cutler-Hammer, Inc. The latter instrument has been carefully engineered and has received wide-spread acceptance in the gas industry for accuracy. The accuracy of the recording calorimeter depends largely on the installation, testing and maintenance of the instrument, and will be discussed in this paper.
