Dear All,

Does the BTU value change after the control Valve or does it remain fixed in the Entire pipeline

As a standard practice for Custody gas meter installation where is it advisable to install Gas Chromotagraph

Btu values are specific to the particular fuel. Expressed in Btu per unit mass, this does not change with heat or pressure. On the other hand, if it is expressed in Btu per unit volume, then it will change with changes in temperature and pressure.

Gas custody metering would be at standard conditions.

The original poster withheld the flowrate, temperature and pressure, as well as the composition of the <...gas...> in question. It doesn't give much for the forum to go on, does it?
