Abstract: Accuracy in gas measurement has always been of utmost importance In the gas industry. However, as gas supplies have decreased and the value of the product has gone up, the means for even more accurate methods of measurement have been sought. Traditionally, emphasis has been placed on the most accurate measurement of volume, but in the past decade our goal has been somewhat redirected to the most accurate measurement of thermal energy. Unfortunately, thermal energy, itself, cannot be measured directly. Several indirect measurements must be made and the flow of energy must be calculated. The scope of this paper is to generally explore thermal energy measurement systems via discussions of terminology, methods, some of the familiar instruments, and factors in the selection of instruments.
