Kevin Warner Ph.D., to present Hydrogen’s Impact on Gas Measurement and Quality Analysis

Kevin Warner, Senior Vice President for Valtronics & Mustang Sampling to present Hydrogen’s Impact on Gas Measurement and Quality Analysis at the AGA Operations Conference & Spring Committee Meetings May 2, 2024, Hyatt Regency Seattle, Seattle, Washington

Summary: The presence of hydrogen in natural gas mixtures, even at relatively low concentrations, can have a significant impact on the physical properties of the gas. Energy density, Wobbe index, speed of sound, thermal conductivity, and viscosity are each sensitive to the hydrogen concentration. Additionally, physical properties and the chemical reactivity of the gas may need to be monitored more closely. This paper will quantity some of the more interesting aspects of hydrogen mixtures as they relate to gas measurement and
