Considerations on the measurements of natural gas in Cuba.

Authors

Keywords:

natural gas measurement, calibration, traceability, custody transfer

Abstract

This article presents a review of the state of the art of natural gas measurement and its importance in the world. This natural resource has a use that is growing in our country and requires a development policy for its metrological assurance that considers the increase in measurement accuracy based in the value of the resource itself. Information is also exposed on the methods and equipment used in its exploitation, storage and transportation.
