Abstract: Measured several times between the wellhead and its final point of consumption, natural gas temperature is dynamic, meaning that temperature changes constantly. Gas molecules heat up when packed tightly together, such as when they undergo compression, and they cool off as they expand, such as after flowing through a regulator or other restriction. Natural gas temperature is also affected by the temperature of the pipe through which it flows. The measurement of gas temperature contributes directly to measurement precision. The greater the temperature measurement error, the higher the overall measurement uncertainty becomes. Even relatively small temperature measurement errors can have a large impact on the bottom line.
