Abstract: The quality of natural gas in determining overall measurement is a critical component to many applications in our industry. The need to balance plant volumes, measure natural gas within a gathering systems, allocate production to producers in transmission application as well s measurement in custody transfer applications require an accurate analysis of the natural gas flowing in the pipeline. Typically, contracts in custody transfer of natural gas are written to account for the quality of the gas. The quality of the gas is determined by the energy contained in it, which is measured in British Thermal Units or BTUs. A gas chromatograph is typically used to identify individual components of the sample and their quantity, thus determining quality of the sample taken. This chromatographic analysis may take place in a laboratory or in the field. No matter where the analysis takes place, the sample which will be tested must be representative of the flow from which it was taken.
