The report addresses methods, assumptions and criteria relevant to the determination of he
22、ating value and heat energy. Gas property measurement has a history of continual refinement. A goal of this report is to provide stabilizing influence through the stewardship of the Transmission Measurement Committee of the American Gas Association. This revision was triggered by technology advancem
23、ent and heightened industry attention to gas quality issues. This version of AGA Report No. 5 supersedes all prior versions of this document. Users of previous editions are advised to upgrade to this edition. Programs in Excel Spreadsheet for AGA 5 related calculations including heating values both

Scope of Application 1.1 General This report applies specifically to energy-based custody transfer measurement of natural gas. It may or may not be suitable to other applications, as determined by the user. Heating value measurem
36、ent is used in tandem with volume flow or mass flow measurement, the use of which is guided by other reports and industry standards. This report is not intended to supersede, extend or duplicate the content of flow measurement documents. For ease of use, this report supports two approaches to estima
37、ting heating value from composition: simplified table look-up or full calculation. The approaches are functionally equivalent because the look-up tables were produced with the calculation methods. The tables A.1.1 and A.1.2 provide pre-calculated heating values of common gas constituents for a range
38、 of common reference conditions. The detailed methods and data elsewhere in this report are primarily for traceability. Report No. 5 differs in scope from other documents concerning energy measurement. In addition to technical data and formulas, this report recommends performance criteria. The physi
39、cal property data reproduced in this report were drawn from widely-accepted industry sources, including NIST1 and CODATA12. Results obtained using this report will agree closely with results from methods sharing its lineage. In keeping with gas industry practice, this report supports both SI and Imp
40、erial units of measure. 1.2 Range Of Application This report is focussed on methods for predicting the heat energy resulting from complete combustion of commercially acceptable natural gas. 1.2.1 Inclusion Criteria for Fuel Gas Mixtures This report is valid only for fuel gas mixtures meeting the fol
41、lowing criteria: the fuel must be in the gas phase at the specified reference conditions. air/fuel mixtures must be capable of ignition followed by self-sustaining, exothermic combustion reactions. hydrocarbon combustion reactions must reach stoichiometric completion, resulting in product water and
42、carbon dioxide. trace products of combustion, such as NOx and CO, are negligible in the context of heat production Not in the scope of this report are: combustion characteristics such as flame geometry and air/fuel ratio determination of emissions or the products of incomplete combustion natural Gas
43、 Interchangeability indices, other than Wobbe Number, Methane Number (MN) and Motor Octane Number (MON) 2 1.3 Range of Gas Mixture Constituents 1.3.1 Concentration of Gas Constituents The maximum proportion or concentration of constituents within a mixture is limited only by the criteria given in se
44、ction 1.2.1. 1.3.2 Directly Supported Constituents The gas mixture constituents directly supported by this report are: Methane Ethane Propane Isobutane (iC4) and Normal Butane (nC5) Isopentane (iC5) and Normal Pentane (nC5) Normal Hexane (nC6) Normal Heptane (nC7) Normal Octane (nC8) Normal Nonane (
45、nC9) Normal Decane (nC10) Hydrogen (H2) Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) Oxygen (O2) Water (H2O) Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Carbon Monoxide (CO) Nitrogen (N2) Helium (He) Argon (Ar) 2,2-Dimethyl Propane 2-Methyl Pentane 3-Methyl Pentane 2,2-Dimethyl Butane 2,3-Dimethyl Butane Ethylene Propylene Methyl Alcohol 3 1.3
46、.3 Other Constituents The methods of this report may also be applicable to other potential gas constituents if the following parameters are available: compound molar mass enthalpy of formation at 25 C (77 F) second virial coefficient or summation factor at the temperature of interest stoichiometric
47、coefficients calculation parameters for ideal gas heat capacity 1.3.4 Grouped Constituents In the context of energy measurement, it is possible to characterize some compounds as constituents of a group rather than as individual constituent. A group of compounds may be thought of as a pseudo-compound
48、 whose properties are inferred from those of its members. For example, the pseudo-compound C6+ represents the sum of all hydrocarbons whose carbon number is 6 and higher. Typically, C6+ represents pre-determined proportions of nC6, nC7and nC8. A number of default proportions are widely used but none
49、 are mandated. The following two examples illustrate the sensitivity of heating value to assumed proportions within C6+. The Amarillo example gas listed in AGA Report No. 8 (2ndedition) includes 0.0393 mole percent of normal C6. The calculated gross heating value of the mixture is 1034.8 Btu per cubic foot at 14.73 psia and 60 F. For comparison, assume the mixture contains C6+ with 60/30/10 proportions. Upon recalculation, the heating value is higher by 0.015% (1035.0
