Abstract: Hydrocarbon liquids, entrained in natural gas, have been the source of many sampling problems. The primary problem is lack of agreement in the natural gas industry on the fundamental issue of should entrained liquid be included or excluded from sample gas. Standard practices issued by industry organizations are generally more applicable to natural gas that is free of liquid. The current standard practices provide minimum guidance in dealing with entrained liquids. Most of the current research in this field relates to techniques for sampling rich gas sources that contain no liquid. A second problem involving liquids in natural gas is the definition of terms. For example the term free liquid is defined by some as liquid in the form of surface film, pool, or liquid stream. This definition treats liquid in the form of small droplets or aerosol as an included part of the gas phase. Yet others refer to gas containing entrained liquids in any form as wet gas. However, wet gas is interpreted by some as gas having a high water vapor content. Before these liquid related problems can be solved or discussed it will be necessary to adhere to specific definitions of the frequently used terms. The definition of terms used by the author in this presentation can be found in the Glossary.
