Gas meter. A gas meter is a specialized flow meter, used to measure the volume of fuel gases such as natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas. Gas meters are used at residential, commercial, and industrial buildings that consume fuel gas supplied by a gas utility. Gases are more difficult to measure than liquids, because measured volumes are ...
Gas expansion pycnometer is also known as constant volume gas pycnometer. The simplest type of gas pycnometer (due to its relative lack of moving parts) consists of two chambers, one (with a removable gas-tight lid) to hold the sample and a second chamber of fixed, known (via calibration) internal volume – referred to as the reference volume or added volume.
(A) A low-form or Griffin form beaker (B) A tall-form or Berzelius beaker (C) A flat beaker or crystallizer Philips beaker which can be swirled like a conical flask. Standard or "low-form" (A) beakers typically have a height about 1.4 times the diameter. [3]
A gas holder or gasholder, also known as a gasometer, is a large container in which natural gas or town gas (coal gas or formerly also water gas) is stored near atmospheric pressure at ambient temperatures. The volume of the container follows the quantity of stored gas, with pressure coming from the weight of a movable cap.
Three beakers, an Erlenmeyer flask, a graduated cylinder and a volumetric flask. Laboratory glassware is a variety of equipment used in scientific work, traditionally made of glass.
Electron capture detector developed by James Lovelock in the Science Museum, London Electron capture detector, Science History Institute. The electron capture detector is used for detecting electron-absorbing components (high electronegativity) such as halogenated compounds in the output stream of a gas chromatograph.
A gas syringe is a piece of laboratory glassware used to insert or withdraw a volume of a gas from a closed system, or to measure the volume of gas evolved from a chemical reaction. [1] A gas syringe can also be used to measure and dispense liquids, especially where these liquids need to be kept free from air .
A gas meter prover is a device to verify the accuracy of a gas meter. Provers are typically used in gas meter repair facilities, municipal gas meter shops, and public works shops. Provers work by passing a known volume of air through a meter, while monitoring the gas meter's register, index, or internal displacement.
