Abstract: The rising demand for natural gas has brought about an increased number of gas sales contracts negotiated on a Btu basis. It is, therefore, important that the gas measurement engineer or technician be familiar with the recording calorimeter. Total Calorific Value of a gas is defined1 as the number of British thermal units (Btu) evolved by the complete combustion, at constant pressure, of one standard cubic foot of gas with air, the temperature of the gas, air and products of combustion being 60 F and all the water formed by the combustion reaction being condensed to the liquid state. Standard temperature is 60 F and standard pressure is 30 in. Hg. at 32 F and under standard gravity (32,174 ft. per sec. per s e c ) A standard cubic foot of gas is the quantity of any gas that at standard temperature and pressure will fill a space of one cubic foot when in equilibrium with water. Saturated basis is the expressed total calorific value of a gas when it is saturated with water vapor at standard temperature and pressure.
