DIN EN ISO 15971:2014-09 EN ISO 15971:2014 (E) 3 Introduction The amount of energy delivered by a flowing natural gas is often determined as the product of the volume delivered and the calorific value per unit volume of the gas. It is, therefore, important to have available standardized
31、methods of determining the calorific value. In many cases, it is possible to calculate the calorific value of natural gas, with sufficient accuracy, given the composition (see ISO 6976). However, it is also possible, and sometimes a preferred alternative, to measure calorific value using any one of
32、several techniques that do not require a compositional analysis. The methods currently in use, and the many factors that it is necessary to address in the selection, evaluation, performance assessment, installation and operation of a suitable instrument, are detailed herein. The measurement of the W
33、obbe index, a property closely related to calorific value, is discussed briefly in an informative annex, but is not considered in detail in the normative parts of this International Standard. DIN EN ISO 15971:2014-09 EN ISO 15971:2014 (E) 4 1 Scope This International Standard concerns the measuremen
34、t of calorific value of natural gas and natural gas substitutes by non-separative methods, i.e. methods that do not involve the determination of the gas composition nor calculation from it. It describes the principles of operation of a variety of instruments in use for this purpose, and provides gui
35、delines for the selection, evaluation, performance assessment, installation and operation of these. Calorific values can be expressed on a mass basis, a molar basis or, more commonly, a volume basis. The working range for superior calorific value of natural gas, on the volume basis, is usually betwe
36、en 30 MJ/m3and 45 MJ/m3at standard reference conditions (see ISO 13443). The corresponding range for the Wobbe index is usually between 40 MJ/m3and 60 MJ/m3. This International Standard neither endorses nor disputes the claims of any commercial manufacturer for the performance of an instrument. Its
37、central thesis is that fitness-for-purpose in any particular application (defined in terms of a set of specific operational requirements) can be assessed only by means of a well-designed programme of experimental tests. Guidelines are provided for the proper content of these tests. 2 Normative refer

NOTE Standard reference (or base) conditions of temperature, pressure and humidity (state of saturation) are defined for use only in natural gas and similar applications. For the calorific v
45、alue on a volumetric basis, these conditions apply to both the metering and combustion of the gas. In the expression of physical quantities throughout this International Standard, these standard reference conditions as defined in ISO 13443 are taken to apply. 3.2 Water content of gas 3.2.1 saturated

47、 water vapour between that of the saturated gas and that of the dry gas, at the specified conditions of temperature and pressure 3.3 Performance classification NOTE The following classification scheme is adopted in order to categorize the uncertainties associated with measurement of calorific value. The attached notes are explanatory, not parts of the definitions. The values given refer to an expanded uncertainty with a coverage factor of 2. 3.3.1 class 0 performance with whic
