Abstract: All personnel involved in the measurement of natural gas, the qualitative and quantitative testing, and the handling of this commodity, are painfully aware of the real and true shortage of this natural resource. With this shortage, the measurement of gas becomes increasingly more important, especially in qualitative analysis and testing. The calorimeter is one device used to indicate the heating value, or BTU, of the gas. Important as this testing is now, it becomes even more so as time goes on and natural gas becomes more scarce. The heating value of the gas indicated by the calorimeter is given in British Thermal Units (BTU) which is defined as the amount of heat required to raise one pound of water one degree farenheit, from 58.5 to 59.5 . The value of the gas, of course, increases as the BTU increases.
