Mass measurement can be achieved by direct measurement with a Coriolis flow meter or inferred by multiplying a volumetric flow rate times flowing density. Mass measurements are converted to volumetric terms for commercial transactions.
The component content will determine the % quantity of each hydrocarbon that is present HighTec Energy has developed a tool to compare Flowing Density vs. Calculated Density, which can be used to determine the sample’s fidelity. When trying to understand if a sample is truly a representation of the stream’s composition, a quick comparison between the corrected-to-standard conditions for flowing density and the calculated density is always the first test.
