Metrological assurance of quality control of natural gas

  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

A complex of studies on the development of a system of metrological assurance of measurement technologies in the recovery, transportation, and delivery of gas to customers in the Russian Federation is considered. A system of metrological assurance for quality control of natural gas developed at the Gazprom company that supports the traceability of the results of measurements to the state primary standard of units of mole fraction and mass concentration of the components in gaseous media (GET 154-01) and renders the results of quality control of natural gas internationally recognizable is presented.
