Volume Correction of NG during transaction City Gas Company Residential User NG Transaction Reference condition : 0 C, 0.325 kpa Diaphragm gas meter NG Transaction Reference condition : Actual condition Gas temperature and pressure of actual gas flow are quite different from the reference conditions. Volume correctors are used to calculate gas volume at the reference conditions in the industrial and commercial gas flow meters.
Volume Correction Factor t: Period of volume correction q: Gasflowrate T gas : Gas temperature( ) P gas : Gas pressure(mbar), P atm : Atmosphere pressure(mbar) Compressibility factor at measuring conditions is assumed similar to that at reference conditions due to small differences of gas pressure and temperature Volume correction factor is higher than in the winter and lower than in the summer. To reduce complaint of billing, one year was chosen as the best period in Korea.
Volume Correction Factor Gas billing = Gas meter volume * K * CV(MJ/m 3 ) 42 area s volume correction factor were calculated. Ten year average value from last year is used for this year
