Natural gas compositions variation effect on capillary tube thermal mass flow meter performance
TLDR
In this article, the effect of natural gas compositions variation on the performance of capillary tube thermal mass flow meters in residential use is studied and the results show that using an average specific heat capacity value for different mixtures causes a deviation below a maximum of only 1.8% and overall average error of 0.62% in measurement accuracy.About:

Sensitivity of natural gas flow measurement to AGA8 or GERG2008 equation of state utilization
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison between AGA8 and GERG2008 EOS in computing conversion factor is presented. And the results reveal that the relative difference is negative for the practical region of measurement, which means that by replacing AGA8 EOS byGERG2008 standard, the less flow is registered by the measurement system.

Apparatus and methods for measuring fluid flow parameters
TL;DR: In this paper, an apparatus and method for measuring fluid flow parameters operate under conditions wherein the composition of the fluid flow can change rapidly thereby changing the speed of sound within the fluid and wherein the actual flow rate can also change rapidly, thus further changing the transit time of acoustic energy traversing an interrogation path within a fluid.
