Abstract: There is an increasing need for accurate and continuous monitoring of gaseous fnels for a widening range of heating values. The impetus has developed because of the combined effects of measuring and selling gaseous fuels in terms of energy content (usually by therms) and also, because of the availability of high heating value liquefied natural gas. Many gas companies depend upon recording calorimeters for direct continuous measujrement of natural gas heating values. These calorimeters are usually calibrated with a cylinder-contained standard gas having a certified heating value. The calorimeter is periodically operated with the standard gas, and the heating value registration is adjusted, if necessary, to the certified heating value of the standard. This calibration is usually considered to be satisfactory for samples that differ by not more than about 25 Btu/SCF from the standard gas.
