Abstract: The problems of wet eas measurement and regulation present most of those encountered in drj gas work in addition to several others peculiar to itself. For instance, wet gas meter men are called upon to measure, regulate, and distribute gas varying in pressures in excess of 2,000 pounds per square inch to as low as 28 inches of mercury vacuum. ariations of temperature from 200 degrees Fahrenheit to -35 degrees Fahrenheit are also encountered. In addition to these variations of pressure and temperature there is the ever present moisture, both from water and heavy gasoline fractions, presence of scale, hydrogen sulphide, and a few other foreign materials which considerably handicap the measurement and regulation of wet gas not usually encountered in handling dry gas. In recent years, there have been several contributing factors which had tremendously increased the importance of accurate measurement and trouble free regulation in the handling of wet gas. Up to a relatively few years ago, the problems of gas measurement and regulation were largely confined to the natural gasoline manufacture and the gas distribution companies. However, times have changed and Lhe utilization and con5eration of natural gas has become 1 matter of paramount importance to oil producers. Two -?f the most important reasons for this change arc in the interests of economy and compliance with legislative meas- 3jes.
