47、his standard is for the use of those involved in custody transfer of natural gas. Unless fixed by statute, it is the responsibility of the parties to contracts to agree on procedures for determining volumes, heating values and standard conditions for custody transfer. This standard is similar to ISO

49、Mixtures for Custody Transfer 1 Scope This standard presents procedures for calculating, at base conditions from composition, the following properties of natural gas mixtures: gross heating value, relative density (real and ideal), compressibility factor and theoretical hydrocarbon liquid content which in the U.S. is typically expressed as GPM, the abbreviation for gallons of liquid per thousand cubic feet of gas. Rigorous calculation of the effect of water upon these calculations is complicated. Because this document relates primarily to custody transfer, the water effect inc
