AGA#3 Orifice Meter Gas Calculation Function
The Orifice Meter Gas Calculation Function object
Uses the AGA Report #3 1995 standard
This function calculates gas volumes using an orifice plate along with input meters for temperature, pressure and differential pressure
AGA #7 Turbine Meter Gas Volume Calculation
This function is used to calculate Turbine Meter Gas Volumes for Pulse, Frequency and Analog Inputs using the AGA Report #7 2002 standard.
AGA #8 Gas Compressibility Factor Calculation Function
AGA #8: Calculates the Compressibility Factor of Natural Gas and Related Hydrocarbon Gases - 1994 Detailed Method
The compressibility factors are ZFLOW, ZBASE, DFLOW, and DBASE and are calculated based on the "Gas Analysis" data entered into the "ANALYSIS" input data structure of the AGA8 EFB
The AGA8 EFB provides data to AGA3 EFB in order to adjust the AGA3 calculation to account for compressibility of the gas being measured
TOTALS EFB for Totalization of Instantaneous Flow Values
Function block is used to totalize or accumulate the instantaneous flowing volume provided by AGA3 and AGA7. This can be used to totalize other process values as well, i.e. not limited to use with AGA3 and AGA7. The input value can be in units/hour or units/day and the value will be totalized over time
There are various types of outputs, these are:
running total
running total (with reset)
current day volume
previous day volume
