Abstract: As the price of all forms of energy increases, measurement, especially at those points where the energy is bought or sold, is becoming increasingly important. The measurement of natural gas has become considerably more involved than the relatively simple volumetric measurement of a few decades ago. The custody transfer of natural gas in the 1980s also includes a careful measurement of the heat content of the gas as well as an evaluation of the gas quality. This presentation is intended to introduce some of the basic principles these measurements are based on. All of you have probably heard of the ideal gas laws, such as Boyles Law and Charles Law. These socalled gas laws are empirical, that is to say, based on observations. The fact that we call them Ideal gas laws means that they dont work exactly for real gases all the time. These laws do generally state the relationship between the volume, pressure and temperature of a gas. Most modern approaches explain the gas laws in highly mathematical terms of the kinetic molecular theory of gases.
