Title: Therm-Titrator Round-Robbin Testing And Evaluation

Abstract: This paper describes a joint project with four gas utilities to test and evaluate the Therm- Titrator. This is a new instrument for measuring the calorific value of natural gas. The instrument was developed by Precision Machine Products with the participation and assistance of four utilities. These were Consumers Power in Jackson, Michigan, Consolidated Natural Gas in Cleveland, Ohio, Columbia Gas Transmission in Columbus, Ohio and Lone Star Gas in Dallas, Texas. The instrument implements a method for measuring calorific value that was first reported in 1972 at the A.G.A. Distribution Conference in Atlanta. In the latter paper it is shown that the calorific value is proportional to the ratio of air to fuel that maximizes the adiabatic flame temperature of a mixture of the two. This relation holds within 1 BTU/SCF for most natural gas mixtures.
