The work of preparing International Standards is normall
23、y carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the
24、work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the di
25、fferent approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document

29、ISO 6976:1995), which has been technically revised. ISO 2016 All rights reserved vBS EN ISO 6976:2016ISO 6976:2016(E)IntroductionBoth international and intra-national custody transfer of natural gas usually require precise determination of both the quantity and the quality of the gas to be traded. T
30、his document specifies methods for the calculation of key properties that describe gas quality, namely gross and net calorific value, density, relative density, and gross and net Wobbe index. The methods provide the means of calculating these properties and their uncertainties for any natural gas, n
31、atural gas substitute or similar combustible gaseous fuel of known composition at commonly used reference conditions.Values of the various properties calculated in accordance with this document will, in general, differ only by very small amounts from those calculated using the second (1995) edition
32、of this document. In this context, it is recognized that:a) adoption of the revisions detailed in this document will not be without cost, since instrumentalsoftware will need updating;b) recorded energy content and hence billed energy will, in consequence of these revisions, change bysmall amounts;c
33、) unintended impacts could occur if the revisions are implemented uncritically; for instance, if therevisions are implemented at input points to a pipeline system but not at exit points, then a costlyaccountancy imbalance may result;d) commercial, contractual, regulatory and legislative obligations
34、will need to be taken into account.For these reasons, and depending upon the users application, it may be appropriate to undertake an impact assessment in order to determine an agreed timing and procedure for implementation of the provisions of this document.vi ISO 2016 All rights reservedBS EN ISO
35、6976:2016Natural gas Calculation of calorific values, density, relative density and Wobbe indices from composition1 ScopeThis document specifies methods for the calculation of gross calorific value, net calorific value, density, relative density, gross Wobbe index and net Wobbe index of natural gase
36、s, natural gas substitutes and other combustible gaseous fuels, when the composition of the gas by mole fraction is known. The methods specified provide the means of calculating the properties of the gas mixture at commonly used reference conditions.Mole fractions by definition sum to unity. Guidanc
37、e on the achievement of this requirement by chromatographic analysis is available in ISO 6974-1 and ISO 6974-2.The methods of calculation require values for various physical properties of the pure components; these values, together with associated uncertainties, are provided in tables and their sour
38、ces are identified.Methods are given for estimating the standard uncertainties of calculated properties.The methods of calculation of the values of properties on either a molar, mass or volume basis are applicable to any natural gas, natural gas substitute or other combustible fuel that is normally
39、gaseous, except that for properties on the volume basis the method is restricted to mixtures for which the compression factor at reference conditions is greater than 0,9.Example calculations are given in Annex D for the recommended methods of calculation.NOTE 1 The qualifiers “superior”, “higher”, “
40、upper” and “total” are, for the purposes of this document, synonymous with “gross”; likewise, “inferior” and “lower” are synonymous with “net”. The term “heating value” is synonymous with “calorific value”; “mass density” and “specific density” are synonymous with “density”; “specific gravity” is sy
41、nonymous with “relative density”; “Wobbe number” is synonymous with “Wobbe index”; “compressibility factor” is synonymous with “compression factor”. The dimensionless quantity molecular weight is numerically equal to the molar mass in kgkmol1.NOTE 2 There are no explicit limits of composition to whi
42、ch the methods described in this document are applicable. However, the restriction of volume-basis calculations to mixtures with a compression factor greater than 0,9 at reference conditions sets implicit limits on composition.NOTE 3 Because the mole fraction of any water present is not normally ava
43、ilable from chromatographic analysis, it is common practice to calculate the physical properties on a dry gas basis and to allow for the effects of water vapour in a separate procedure. However, if the mole fraction of water vapour is known then the property calculations can be carried out completel
44、y in accordance with the procedures described herein. The effects of water vapour on calorific value, whether the latter is directly measured or calculated, are discussed in ISO/TR 29922.NOTE 4 For aliphatic hydrocarbons of carbon number 7 or above, any isomer present is included with the normal iso
45、mer of the same carbon number.NOTE 5 If the users requirement includes the replacement of, for example, a C6+ or C7+ grouping of analytically unresolved components by a single pseudo-component, then it is the users own task to set the mole fraction composition, and hence properties, of this pseudo-c
46、omponent so as to be fit for purpose in the particular application. Any so-called “spectator water” and “non-combustible hydrogen sulfide” are treated as pseudo-components by setting the appropriate enthalpy of combustion values to zero.INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 6976:2016(E) ISO 2016 All rights res
