How do I create a chart meter calculation using the AGA3 standards?

If a customer wants to setup a chart meter and use AGA 3 standards for calculations, the lease operator needs to configure the reading or the meter with the following attributes needed for the volume calculations:

• Atm Pressure (Master data)

• Base Pressure (Master data)

• Base Temperature (Transaction data)

• Pipe Diameter (Master data)

• Orifice Diameter (could be setup as master data or transaction data - depends on customer)

• N2 (Transaction data) - typically 0 , customers typically don’t record this

• CO2 (Transaction data) - typically 0 , customers typically don’t record this

• Specific Gravity (Transaction data)

• Static Pressure (Transaction data)

• Differential Pressure in H2O column (Transaction data)

• Flow Temperature (Transaction data)

• Flow Time (Transaction data)

On app side, calculations are updated when data is entered and uploaded to the backend. When users do a delta download, they will see the net volume.

Format example:

AGA3Method2FlowRate([AtmPressure], [BasePressure] ,[GasMeter].[BaseTemperature] , [GasMeter].[PipeDiameter] , [GasMeter].[OrficeDiameter] , 0, 0, [GasMeter].[SpecificGravity] , [GasMeter].[StaticPressure] , [GasMeter].[DifferentialPressureinH2O] , [GasMeter].[FlowTemperature] , [GasMeter].[FlowTime] )
