Title: Mass Flow Measurement

Abstract: Mass measurement does not require a set of base conditions and can be accomplished at any set of flowing conditions. Remember the old saying A pound is a pound the world around. To this we might add A cubic foot of gas is a variable the world over. So, mass measurement gives us a unit that is definitive without further qualification. Gas bought in Texas at 100 psig, iOOF., and .600 specific gravity, by the pound, can be sold by the pound at any other conditions of pressure and temperature such as 100 psig 30F. and .600 specific gravity, with no correction required. Volume measurement would have to he mathematically reduced to standard conditions before a measurement balance could be obtained. Also, regulatory bodies and gas contract departments who seem to delight in setting up different standard conditions, would have a unit of measurement in the pound that would be truly standard.
