Table 5-15: GC-read gas property invalid conditions
Indication Data Point
IsGCDataErr
GC alarm handling
The following data points are included in the meter's alarm log (See
audit): AreGasPropertiesInvalidGC, IsGCAlarmPresent, IsGCCommErr, GCCommStatus,
and IsGCDataErr.
5.8.2
Configure AGA8 parameters
Configure the properties necessary for the AGA8 calculations.
How the AGA8 calculations to be performed:
•
Internally by the meter - calculates the flow mass density, the flow compressibility and
the base compressibility.
•
Externally - calculations are done externally. The calculated values must then be written
to the meter using Daniel MeterLink
AGA8 method
•
Gross Method 1
•
Gross Method 2
•
Detail - enter the amount of each of the 21 gas components as a percentage.
•
GERG-2008
Gas composition
•
Fixed - use the fixed gas composition stored in the meter for all calculations.
•
Live GC - use a gas composition collected by the meter from a gas chromatograph for
all calculations. This option is only available with a GC key or is enabled with the
Continuous Flow Analysis key.
