Natural gas - Measurement of properties - Calorific value and Wobbe index (ISO 15971:2008); German version EN ISO 15971:2014
Erdgas - Messung der Eigenschaften - Wärmewerte und Wobbe-Index (ISO 15971:2008); Deutsche Fassung EN ISO 15971:2014
Overview
This International Standard concerns the measurement of calorific value of natural gas and natural gas substitutes by non-separative methods, which means that these methods 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 guidelines for the selection, evaluation, performance assessment, installation and operation of these.
