scope:

Describes the principles of, and general requirements for, two gravimetric methods for the determination of the potential hydrocarbon liquid content of natural gas, or similar gas, at a given pressure and temperature. Two methods are specified to determine the amount of condensate in a sample gas: Method A: a manual weighing method;- Method B: an indirect automatic weighing method based on the indication of the pressure difference caused by the accumulation of condensate in a vertical tube. The manual weighing method is a reference method for the indirect automatic method (Method B). The indirect automatic method (Method B) is suitable for semi-continuous control.
