Abstract: When you think of natural gas measurement you most likely think of meters or volume measurement. However, gas bills are in therms not flow rates like scf or Mcf. To determine therms we need to know the flow rates and billing rates (BTU). BTU is determined by measurements of other parameters like hydrocarbon composition, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen. But is that all that needs to be measured by a gas distribution company? In order to transport gas through pipelines and supply customers, other measurement devices may be needed to ensure an acceptable gas quality. Acceptable gas quality is specified in Tariffs or in contractual agreement between the utility and its gas suppliers. In this presentation we will go over typical natural gas parameters that should be specified.
