Calculation Standard

Sets the Calculation Standards used for orifice, gas linear meters,
and mass linear meters in this Station. There is only one edition of
AGA and ISO flow calculations. Calculation standards include:

Gas, AGA3-1992/AGA7-2006/AGA11-2003 American Gas

Association (AGA) standard for gas flow through an orifice, a
linear meter, and a mass (Coriolis) meter.

Gas, AGA3-2013/AGA7-2006/AGA11-2003 American Gas

Association (AGA) standard for gas flow through an orifice, a
linear meter, and a mass (Coriolis) meter.

Gas, ISO5167-1998/ISO9951-1993/ISO10790-2003
International Standard Organization (ISO) standard for gas
flow through an orifice, a linear meter, and a mass (Coriolis)
meter.

Gas, ISO5167-2003/ISO9951-1993/ISO10790-2003
International Standard Organization (ISO) standard for gas
flow through an orifice, a linear meter, and a mass (Coriolis)
meter in circular cross-section conduits running full.

Liquid, ISO5167-2003/API 12-1995/ISO10790-2003 ISO

and API (American Petroleum Institute) standards for liquid
flow through an orifice, a linear meter, and a mass (Coriolis)
meter.

Select Gas, AGA3-1992/AGA7-2006/AGA11-2003 for the Station

when you want 1992 AGA 3 calculations for all orifice meters in the
Station and AGA 7 calculations for all turbine meters and all mass
(Coriolis) meters in a Station.

Select Gas, AGA3-2013/AGA7-2006/AGA11-2003 for the Station

when you want 2013 AGA 3 calculations for all orifice meters in the
Station and AGA 7 calculations for all turbine meters and all mass
(Coriolis) meters in a Station.

Select Gas, ISO5167-1998/ISO9951-1993/ISO10790-2003 for all

orifice meters in the Station and ISO9951 calculations for all turbine
meters and all mass (Coriolis) meters in a Station.

Select Gas, ISO5167-2003/ISO9951-1993/ISO10790-2003 for all

orifice meters in the Station and ISO9951 calculations for all turbine
meters and all mass (Coriolis) meters in a Station with circular cross-
section conduits running full.

Note: ISO9951 calculations are identical to AGA 7 calculations.

Select Liquid, ISO5167-2003/API 12-1995/ISO10790-2003 for all

 orifice meters with an expansion factor set to 1.0. Linear volumetric
meters will calculate a corrected volume using user-entered/calculated
pressure and temperature correction factors. Mass (Coriolis) meters
calculate a corrected volume form the Mass Flow Rate and the Base
Density.

Note: For linear volumetric meters using API 12, the user-
entered/calculated pressure and temperature correction factors, as well
as the Base Density and Flowing Density values, will need to be
supplied by a FST, User C program, a host computer, a DS800
program, or manually entered from a custom display. The FPV Method
parameter must be set to User so the density values can be entered.

FPV
Method
For flow calculations, set FPV Method of Detailed, Gross I, Gross II, or User
methods of calculating the compressibility factor.

The Detailed method provides the highest accuracy in a broader range of

measurement conditions; however, one of the Gross methods can be used when:

Temperature is between 0 and 54 C (32 and 13 F).

Pressure is between 0 and 8274 kPa (0 and 1200 psia).

Gas composition is within the normal range as defined in the 1992

AGA8 report.

Use Gross methods for applications with a more specific range of measurement
conditions.

Briefly, the three methods are:

Detailed Requires the natural gas composition in mole percent to be entered.

Gross I Specific Gravity (relative density)

Real gas gross heating value per unit volume

The mole % of CO2

Gross II Specific Gravity (relative density)

The mole % of CO2

 The mole % of N2

Note: If either Gross Method is chosen, manually enter the Specific

Gravity and Heating Value in the Gas Quality screen. For Gross
Method II, the Heating Value is required only for calculating the gas
energy flow.

User Requires the base compressibility, standard compressibility, flowing

compressibility, base density, and flowing density values to be
entered. These values become Read/Write enabled and may be
obtained from a non-calculated source. The values may come from a
User C program, FST, host computer, DS800 program, or a custom
display. If none of these sources provide values, the last value will be
held.
