Natural gas - Measurement of properties - Calorific value and Wobbe index (ISO 15971:2008)

ISO 15971:2008 concerns the measurement 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 calculations from it. ISO 15971:2008 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.
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 between 30 MJ/m3 and 45 MJ/m3 at standard reference conditions (see ISO 13443). The corresponding range for the Wobbe index is usually between 40 MJ/m3 and 60 MJ/m3.
ISO 15971:2008 neither endorses nor disputes the claims of any commercial manufacturer for the performance of an instrument. Its 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.

Erdgas - Messung der Eigenschaften - Wärmewerte und Wobbe-Index (ISO 15971:2008)

Gaz naturel - Mesurage des propriétés - Pouvoir calorifique et indice de Wobbe (ISO 15971:2008)

L'ISO 15971:2008 concerne le mesurage du pouvoir calorifique du gaz naturel et de produits de substitution du gaz naturel par des méthodes non séparatives, c'est-à-dire des méthodes qui n'impliquent pas la détermination de la composition du gaz, ni le calcul à partir de celle-ci. Elle décrit les principes de fonctionnement d'une diversité d'instruments utilisés à cet effet, et elle fournit des lignes directrices pour leur sélection, évaluation, évaluation de performance, installation et fonctionnement.
Les pouvoirs calorifiques peuvent être exprimés sur une base massique, molaire ou, plus communément, volumique. La plage de travail pour le pouvoir calorifique supérieur du gaz naturel, sur une base volumique, est généralement comprise entre 30 MJ/m3 et 45 MJ/m3 dans les conditions de référence standard (voir l'ISO 13443). La plage correspondante de l'indice de Wobbe est généralement comprise entre 40 MJ/m3 et 60 MJ/m3.
L'ISO 15971:2008 ne cautionne ni ne conteste les revendications d'un quelconque constructeur commercial pour la performance d'un instrument. Sa thèse centrale est que l'adaptation à un usage dans une quelconque application particulière (définie en termes d'un ensemble d'exigences opérationnelles spécifiques) ne peut être évaluée qu'au moyen d'un programme bien conçu d'essais expérimentaux. Des lignes directrices sont fournies pour le contenu correct de ces essais.

Zemeljski plin - Merjenje njegovih lastnosti - Kalorična vrednost in Wobbejev indeks (ISO 15971:2008)

Standard EN-ISO 15971 obravnava na merjenje kalorične vrednosti zemeljskega plina in nadomestkov zemeljskega plina z neseparacijskimi metodami, ki ne vključujejo določevanja sestave plina ali izračuna, ki iz tega izhaja. Opisuje načela delovanja različnih instrumentov, ki se uporabljajo v ta namen, in zagotavlja smernice za njihovo izbiro, vrednotenje, oceno učinka, namestitev in delovanje. Kalorične vrednosti se lahko izrazijo na podlagi mase, števila molov ali, najpogosteje, prostornine. Delovno območje za boljšo kalorično vrednost zemeljskega plina na podlagi prostornine je pri standardnih referenčnih pogojih med 30 in 45 MJ/m3 (glej ISO 13443). Ustrezen razpon za Wobbejev indeks je običajno med 40 in 60 MJ/m3. Ta mednarodni standard niti ne podpira in niti ne ugovarja trditvam katerega koli proizvajalca o zmogljivosti inštrumentov. Njegova osrednja teza je, da je primernost za uporabo za kateri koli namen (opredeljen z vidika nabora posebnih obratovalnih zahtev) lahko ocenjena le z dobro zasnovanim programom poskusnih preskusov. Na voljo so smernice za pravilno izvajanje teh preskusov.
