Loose tomatoes for sale at a UK greengrocer in 2013, dual-priced in imperial (£0.99 /lb) and metric (£2.18 /kg) units. Signs like these do not comply with legislation, as metric prices must not be less prominent. [1] [2] Metrication is the act or process of converting to the metric system of measurement.
For gas metering, gas orifice meters and ultrasonic flow meters are most common. [34] Coriolis meters are in use for liquid measurements, but can also take gas measurement applications. [35] For the application of allocation measurements, multiphase flow meters have been adopted, especially for subsea production systems. These equipments are ...
Feeder No. 1 was extended to Totley near Sheffield where it connected to the 18-inch methane pipeline. UK natural gas first entered the NTS in July 1968. [11] Feeder lines from the North Sea gas terminals to the spine of the NTS were laid and brought into use as the shore terminals were constructed. [3] [12] [13] [14]
A gas meter is a specialized flow meter, used to measure the volume of fuel gases such as natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas. Gas meters are used at residential, commercial, and industrial buildings that consume fuel gas supplied by a gas utility. Gases are more difficult to measure than liquids, because measured volumes are highly ...
The oil and gas industry in the United Kingdom produced 1.42 million BOE per day [4] in 2014, of which 59% [4] was oil/liquids. In 2013 the UK consumed 1.508 million barrels per day (bpd) of oil and 2.735 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of gas, [5] so is now an importer of hydrocarbons having been a significant exporter in the 1980s and 1990s.
Yet other definitions are in use for industrial gas, [5] where, in the US, a standard cubic foot for industrial gas use is defined at 70 °F (21.1 °C) and 14.696 psia (101.325 kPa), while in Canada, a standard cubic meter for industrial gas use is defined at 15 °C (59 °F) and 101.325 kPa (14.696 psia).
CEM systems can also measure air flow, flue gas opacity and moisture. A monitoring system that measures particulate matter is referred to as a PEMS. In the U.S., the EPA requires a data acquisition and handling system to collect and report the data. Measurements of concentration can be converted to mass/hour by including flow rate measurements.
A modern automobile assembly line. Mass production, also known as flow production, series production, series manufacture, or continuous production, is the production of substantial amounts of standardized products in a constant flow, including and especially on assembly lines.
