Practical Considerations Of Gas Sampling Systems

摘要

In Part One (P&GJ July 2012) we discussed the practice of natural gas sampling, challenges, current standards and the basic equipment that is available for the measurement technician. In Part Two, we look at the various methods of taking a sample and the process of transporting those samples to the laboratory. The reader should become familiar with the various standards and the requirements for safe transportation of the sample. This article is meant to point out the importance of the sampling process and to encourage the measurement personnel to examine the importance of proper sampling within their organization. The importance of sample quality is equal to the importance of volume quantity. The two functions of measurement make up the complete picture of the profitability of the company's operation.
