Title: Approach To Designing A Natural Gas Sampling System

Abstract: Many properties of a natural gas stream are important to measuring its quantity and quality, as well as to successfully operating pipelines and plants. These include composition which is used to calculate heating value, density and hydrocarbon dew point concentration of contaminants and water vapor dew point. Results from these measurements are directly used to determine the value of the stream and may affect decisions regarding the acceptability of the stream with respect to specification limits. These measurements are made on a sample extracted from the flowing stream that must accurately represent the characteristics of the flowing gas. It is the process of capturing and transporting this sample that is vulnerable to distortion. Sample distortion is not uncommon and when it exists causes subsequent measurements to not be representative of the flowing stream which then affects quantity and quality determinations and operational decisions. As such, sound sampling system design is important to both measurement and operation.
