#Weighing Gas with Sound and Microwaves NIST scientists have developed a novel method to rapidly and accurately calibrate gas flow meters,
such as those used to measure natural gas flowing in pipelines, by applying a fundamental physical principle:
When a sound wave travels through a gas containing temperature gradients, the sound wave average speed is determined by the average temperature of the gas.
Schematic diagram of a gas-filled pressure vessel. The red-to-blue shading represents the temperature gradient in the gas, with the higher (red) temperatures near the top.
The ovals represent a standing sound wave; its frequency is determined mostly by the average temperature of the gas.
The wavy line represents a resonant electromagnetic wave; its frequency is determined mostly by the length of the tank.
Wavelengths are not to scale. Schematic diagram of a gas-filled pressure vessel. The red-to-blue shading represents the temperature gradient in the gas, with the higher (red) temperatures near the top.
The ovals represent a standing sound wave; its frequency is determined mostly by the average temperature of the gas.
The wavy line represents a resonant electromagnetic wave; its frequency is determined mostly by the length of the tank.
Wavelengths are not to scale. Accurate calibrations of gas flow meters issues are of urgent interest to meter manufacturers and calibration labs, with potential impact throughout the natural gas industry.
Conventional calibrations are conducted typically during measured time intervals by flowing a gas stream through the meter being calibrated.
The quantity of gas that passes through the meter is determined by collecting the gas in a large tank and measuring its average temperature and pressure,
which in turn reveals the amount of gas. However, the process of collecting the gas in large tanks generates temperature gradients (different temperatures in different parts of the tank
which make the average difficult to measure. Those gradients persist for hours or days. Thus a fast reading is inherently inaccurate.
To get around that problem, current practice entails calibrating many small meters, one at a time, and then using them in parallel to calibrate a larger meter.
NIST innovation replaces the difficult problem of accurately measuring the average temperature of a large volume of gas with the easier problem of accurately measuring the average speed-of-sound in the gas.
Finally, they heated the top of the tank to establish a temperature difference across the gas of 4%of the average gas temperature.
%This result implies that the acoustic resonance technique could be used to measure the collected gas, even in the presence of a temperature gradient,
