Abstract: Energy is no longer inexpensive. In the past, if gas were lost for one reason or another, the consequences were not significant because the value of this lost gas was not very great. Today, this same amount of gas costs many times more than it did in the past. Thus, when gas is lost and cannot be recovered, the value of this gas is lost also. Flow computers provide the user with a highly accurate gas volume measurement. Flow calculators also enable the user to have a better, costeffective way for measuring of the gas. Just like any other piece of equipment, the gas flow calculator has undergone an evolution. The state of the art has allowed the gas flow calculator to be a very dynamic piece of equipment. Gas flow calculators fall into one of two categories they are either analog devices or digital devices. This paper will describe a digital gas flow calculator, its mechanical make-up, and the actual process that the flow calculator goes through in order to calculate the volume flow rate and the volume accumulation of gas.
