Abstract: There is a continuing need for an accurate determination of the gasoline content of natural gas. The ever increasing importance of natural gas and its by-products demands continued improvement in equipment and increased skill in the determination of the liquid content of the gas. In considering this particular subject, several words must be defined to enable us to have a better understanding in a discussion of testing procedures. The word determination may be used for several purposes however, for our discussion to find the extent, position or character of something will bsst fit our need. Some specific thing must be discovered whose orbit and scope of effectiveness must be fixed. This thing that we will be seeking is the test gasoline content. In approaching this goal in an organized and systematic attempt to properly evaluate all factors involved, a testing code was developed. Definite procedures were formulated that enabled standardized approaches to the problem of gasoline content determination. Now that it has been discovered what is being sought, namely test gasoline content, let us consider what is the nature of this product. Furthermore, what is its end value and what part does it play in the numerous ramifications of the natural gasoline industry? To the man on the street, the word gasoline has primarily one meaning. It is a commodity he purchases for his car at a service station. There is, however, a consderable difference between the finished product dispensed at the pump and the liquid hydrocarbon mixture to which the term gasoline has been applied within the scope of this discussion. Not only is there a difference in components but the finished gasoline has a commercial value which is attributable to certain grade and specification. The term natural gasoline as used herein has no such rating and under all considerations will mean any mixture of hydrocarbon liquids which may be recovered from a given gas sample and retained as measured under specification of a testing apparatus and testing procedure specifically provided for. In other words, it is a quantity of condensate obtained through certain specified testing procedures that has no commercial value in itself.
