Gas meter. 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 ...
A gas holder or gasholder, also known as a gasometer, is a large container in which natural gas or town gas (coal gas or formerly also water gas) is stored near atmospheric pressure at ambient temperatures. The volume of the container follows the quantity of stored gas, with pressure coming from the weight of a movable cap.
Quantities of natural gas are measured in standard cubic meters (cubic meter of gas at temperature 15 °C (59 °F) and pressure 101.325 kPa (14.6959 psi)) or standard cubic feet (cubic foot of gas at temperature 60.0 °F and pressure 14.73 psi (101.6 kPa)), 1 standard cubic meter = 35.301 standard cubic feet.
Quality systems (gas chromatographs to measure energy content of natural gas and sampling systems for liquid); Calibration using in-place or mobile provers for liquid, or master-meter for liquid or gas; and; Supporting automation. A typical liquid custody transfer skid includes multiple flowmeters and meter provers. Provers are used to ...
NYSEG and RG&E are installing the latest in energy use technology − smart meters − across their wide customer base that includes more than 1 million electric hook-ups and 500,000 natural gas ...
A positive displacement meter is a type of flow meter that requires fluid to mechanically displace components in the meter in order for flow measurement. Positive displacement (PD) flow meters measure the volumetric flow rate of a moving fluid or gas by dividing the media into fixed, metered volumes (finite increments or volumes of the fluid).
The new technology promises more accurate natural gas readings and new safety measures. But some critics say they’re not worth the cost. Spire is installing new ‘smart meters’ around KC.
A virtual flow meter is a type of an implementation using such methods. Some gas and condensate fields in the North Sea are developed with subsea templates where multiphase flow meters are installed for each well and virtual flow meters for each well are taken in use as a backup for and redundancy to the flow meters.
