Discussion on Design of Natural Gas Flow Measurement Calibration Process Under Complex Gas Source Conditions
Natural gas measurement is the main basis to carry out trade handover,economic analysis and cost accounting for natural gas enterprises.The accuracy of measurement will directly affect the economic benefits of natural gas enterprises and users.Based on the operation condition for a ring-shaped natural gas pipeline network,simulated hydraulic calculation analysis of gas source pressure and flow at a bypass calibration station supported on the pipeline network are conducted.Operational conditions for the pipeline network to comply with calibration regulations are proposed.Simultaneously,technical measures to enhance the precision of flowmeter calibration outcomes are proposed,recommendations for site selection,design and operation of analogous bypass calibration stations are provided.
