APPLICATIONS OF TELEMETERING IN NATURAL GAS DISTRIBUTION A SCADA system takes its name from the term ‘Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition.’ This is a very broad concept, which has found applications in virtually every industry. In this short paper, I will explain the basic components of a typical SCADA system as found in a large natural gas distribution system. I will also…

FUNDAMENTALS OF ULTRASONIC FLOW METERS Ultrasonic contrapropagation methods have been used to measure the flow of natural gas since the 1970s, flare gases since the 1980s, and smokestack gases in cem (continuous emissions monitoring) since the 1990s. Since the early 2000s, ultrasonic clamp-on flow measurements, previously restricted mainly to liquids, were found effective in measuring in standard steel pipes, the…

INSTRUMENTS FOR THE DETERMINATION OF SPECIFIC GRAVITY / RELATIVE DENSITY OF GAS The terms Specific Gravity and Relative Density have been used for a number of years. Yet there seems to be some confusion over what exactly they mean. Specific Gravity is formally defined as the ratio of gas density to air density when both are at standard conditions of 0 Degree C and 760 mm. Over…

UNACCOUNTED-FOR GAS Unaccounted-for gas can be defined as the “difference between the amount of gas purchased and the amount of gas sold through a measured gas distribution system.” This difference is commonly described as a percentage of gas purchased: “PERCENT UNACCOUNTED-FOR GAS”

ELEMENTS OF GAS MIXTURE PRODUCTION The gas standards manufacturing industry is driven by such terms as quality, accuracy and traceability. Many times these terms become confusing and are often incorrectly interpreted and used by individuals who do not fully understand their meaning. It is true that all three are interrelated and when correctly referenced represent a pinnacle of a product…

REQUIREMENTS OF AN EGM EDITOR The natural gas industry’s adoption of EGM as a means of increasing the speed and accuracy with which measurement information is obtained. This has created the need for an electronic data management system. These systems, if not properly designed and implemented, could potentially render the entire process useless. Therefore, it is essential that the system…

FUNDAMENTALS OF EGM – ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS The areas of gas measurement and communications have seen substantial changes in the last few years as the natural gas industry adapts to effects of the economy, low gas prices, warm winters and government deregulation. Every company has studied, debated, hired consultants, and finally determined how gas flow data is to be measured and collected.…

FUNDAMENTALS OF PRESSURE REGULATION A gas pressure regulator is an automatic device which controls the media flow and maintains a desired media pressure while reducing the media supply pressure. The basic regulator could be an operator at a control valve watching a pressure gauge. The valve is manually opened to allow the line pressure to achieve the desired gauge…
