Abstract: In the natural gas industry, the monitoring of energy content has become of paramount importance. During custody transfer and for biUing purposes, accurate, reliable, and continuous monitoring of the energy content of the gas is a necessity. This measurement may be obtained from two different types of instruments: Ones that measure the energy content directly, and others that do it indirectly. A calorimeter measures this value directly whereas a gas chromatograph (GC) measures it indirectly. The oldest and most trusted calorimeter has been the Cutler-Hammer calorimeter. Changing requirements and needs have permitted other techniques to come to the forefront. These new calorimeters provide faster measurement of the BTU/SCF of the incoming gas. Chief among these are the following: The TruTherm Q, the FLOCAL Calorimeter, and the Cosa Calorimeter. The GC is the only significant instrument in the indirect measurement arena.
