Natural Gas Measurement Standard (AGA 3)

AGA 3 (American Gas Association Report No. 3) is a standardized method used to measure natural gas flow accurately in pipelines. It provides guidelines for testing and calibrating meters to ensure they record the correct volume or energy content of the gas passing through. This standard helps ensure fair and consistent billing, safe operation, and reliable data for gas utilities and industry stakeholders by establishing proper measurement procedures and calculations for natural gas flow under various conditions.
