A study of the importance of gas composition and calibration and their effects on flow meter accuracy.
Summary
Errors associated with the calibration of flow meters for natural gas service can be costly but can also be mitigated using an advanced flow meter design that allows field-adjustment of the natural gas composition without loss of accuracy.

Errors associated with the calibration of flow meters for natural gas service can be costly but can also be mitigated using an advanced flow meter design that allows field-adjustment of the natural gas composition without loss of accuracy.
Natural Gas Composition
Even the most experienced instrumentation and process control engineers specify “natural gas” as the fluid in their thermal flow meter specifications. In contrast, only a small handful of specifications include the actual composition of the flowing natural gas. This often leads to the misconception that natural gas is natural gas is natural gas, regardless of location. Gases such as argon, helium, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen are well-defined pure gases, but if you think that natural gas always had a uniform composition, think again!

Natural gas flowmeters and flare gas flow meters are needed in the Oil & Gas industry.
Efficiency in process heating applications is paramount, use a thermal mass flowmeter to measure the fuel gas to burners to look for inefficiencies.
Operators want easy, accurate, and effective instruments to monitor flow. Fox meters are rugged industrial flow meters for use in harsh conditions.
Accurate thermal gas flow meters from Fox help operators improve inefficiencies.
Thermal Mass flowmeters from Fox Thermal are ideal for industrial gas measurement applications.
Combustion optimization and gas measurement of fuel to burners and boilers is one common application for thermal gas mass flow meters from Fox.
Finding the ideal air to gas ratio for burners, boilers, or heaters is made easy with a thermal mass flowmeter by Fox.
The measurement of the flow of biogas in applications such as landfills and the agricultural sector is a growing industry. A sensitive meter that can measure very low flows accurately, like the Fox Thermal Mass Flow meter, is the ideal instrument for this purpose.
Measuring the very low flow rates of vent gas from oil and gas storage tanks takes a highly sensitive and accurate meter like the Thermal mass flow meter by Fox Thermal.
The Fox Model FT3 thermal mass flowmeter is shown here in a remote configuration at a oil well site.
The Fox Model FT3 thermal gas mass flow meter is shown here measuring the gas in a fuel line to flares at an Oil & Gas site in South America.
The Fox Model FT3 can also be used as a part of a testing kit to measure vent gas flow at Oil and Gas storage tanks.
