Abstract: One of the most important instruments in gas measurement is the recording calorimeter. The calorimeter assists every department in the gas companies from management, gas control, gas sales, gas purchases to the chart department for billing purposes. The calorimeter is also used in energy control into distribution systems where the heat content is specified by contract. The calorimeter is used to measure energy reduction across gasoline plants and participating parties are paid on this basis, in some instances. The major use is in gas sales to large industrial concerns to measure energy rather than volume. Because of the increase in the number of contracts requiring energy measurement, the calorimeter is becoming more important from day to day. For instance, a contract with a small user is being irade on the energy rather than on the volumetric basis. These small contractswould not warrant the installation of a recording calorimeter but by a representative test from an accumulated weekly sample the energy content can be determined by the recording calorimeter in the lab. A volume of approximately 20 million cubic feet or more daily may financially justify the installation of a recording calorimeter depending upon the contract. In the United States, the energy is measured in British Thermal Units.
