Abstract: This paper will present in a general way, the determination of gas quality in the laboratory. Equipment needed will be discussed, but not covered in detail. In order to keep gas flowing through the pipeline, quality must be monitored and controlled. Quality limits of gas to be put into the pipeline will be stated in a gas contract. The contract might require the gas to be free from dust, gums, or liquid or any solid mater which may be separated from the gas during transportation from one point to another. It will also state the upper limits of components such as water vapor, hydrogen sulphide, total sulphur, carbon dioxide, or nitrogen, The heating value will have a lower limit close to 1000 BTU per cubic foot. Some tests to determine quality may be performed best in the field where others may not. For testing in a laboratory a sample of the gas is taken in a clean cylinder, tagged, and sent as soon as possible to the laboratory.
