Product catalog summary

Overview of the Natural Gas System
The natural gas system is a complex network comprising wells, pipelines, storage facilities, and processing stations. It includes three major types of pipelines: gathering systems, interstate pipelines, and distribution systems. Each pipeline type requires specific tests to prevent issues such as moisture, corrosion, and inefficient fuel usage, while also ensuring compliance with safety regulations.

Key Measurement Components
Pressure and temperature are critical components routinely tested and documented for regulatory purposes. Pressure tests may involve gauge pressure, absolute pressure, or both, depending on the location. Differential pressure is crucial for calculating gas flow and other applications like filter testing. Temperature deviations significantly impact performance and costs.

AMETEK's Solutions for the Gas Industry
AMETEK provides a range of calibration and test equipment tailored for the gas industry, including intrinsically safe digital test gauges, data recorders, and high-accuracy temperature calibrators. These products are designed to save time and money while ensuring precise measurements.

Measurement Solutions for the Natural Gas Industry-2

The Natural Gas System is a complex network of wells, pipelines, storage facilities, and processing stations, which transport the natural gas from production to consumption. Three major types of pipelines are used throughout the system: the gathering system, the interstate pipeline, and the distribution system. Each type of pipeline has its own set of tests, which are necessary to, among other things, prevent moisture, corrosion, inefficient fuel usage, and to also meet official safety regulations. Pressure and temperature are two critical components which are routinely tested and sometimes documented...
