Test of the Yamatake HGC303 Gas Chromatograph

As the variations in gas quality of Danish natural gas have increased during recent years, there is an increasing demand for information about the actual gas properties (calorific value, methane number) at different locations in the natural gas grid. 

 

In order to supply the desired information, it may be necessary to install a number of field instruments at measurement and regulation stations or customer sites, in addition to the gas chromatographs that already are installed at central locations.

 

The aim of the test described in this report is to determine if the Yamatake HGC303 Heat Value Gas Chromatograph can be used for these purposes.
