Tech/Engineering - Metrology / gas metering methods
English term or phrase: spot sample
There are a few methods to obtain gross Heating Value of natural gas (...) Another method is to take a spot sample, analyze the spot sample in a laboratory GC and
calculate the heating value. This method also
has an uncertainty of ±0.3%. Spot sampling
is appropriate for troubleshooting but not for
billing purposes because its heating value represents
gas quality at the instance of sampling and
might not be adequate for monthly gas supply.
The third method is using an autosampler
and a laboratory GC. Gas companies employ
volume-based and time-based monthly autosamplers
for billing purposes.
