GOFLIBC2015
GOFLIBC2015 is provided in C Code so it can be implemented on a server, mainframe, minicomputer and PC levels with various operating systems. GOFLIBC2015 also can be implemented in firmware for use in control and electronic flow measurement software. The GOFLIBC2015 computer code calculates natural gas properties and orifice gas flowrates for flange and pipe tapped orifice meters, and generates density, compressibility factor and supercompressibility factor outputs. Measurement units include SI, US, IP and metric. Instrument calibration corrections are allowed and warnings and errors can be generated.
GOFLIBC2015 STANDARDS COVERED AND USES
GOFLIBC2015 covers: AGA 3.3 (2013), AGA 8 (1994 Reprint), and AGA 3 (1992). SAI can work directly with customers to modify the code to their needs. For example, the software currently does not cover AGA 7 (1996, turbine meters) or GPA 2172 (2009, 1996), but these standards can be added based on customer needs.
Commonly cited uses by customers include: calculation of volumetric and mass flow rates, comparisons of flow rates for meter calibrations, comparisons of different measurement standards, verifications of in-house calculations, Electronic Flow Measurement (EFM), SCADA applications, and in-house accounting systems.
IMPLEMENTATION OPTIONS
GOFLIBC2015-COMPANY allows use of the functions included in GOFLIBC2015 within your company* to customize the gas flow rate calculations to your needs and create in-house applications.
GOFLIBC2015-PLUS allows production of firmware and/or stand-alone executable software to be licensed by the licensee company, which is a single, legal entity.
GOFLIBC2015-ENTERPRISE allows use of the functions included in GOFLIBC2015 within your parent company and its affiliates and subsidiaries to customize the gas flow rate calculations to your needs and create in-house applications.
GOFLIBC2015-ENTERPRISE-PLUS allows use of the functions included in GOFLIBC2015 within your parent company and its affiliates and subsidiaries to customize the gas flow rate calculations to your needs and create in-house applications; additionally, the license allows production of firmware and/or stand-alone executable software to be licensed by the licensee parent company, its affiliates and subsidiaries.
GOFLIBC2015 closely resembles the ancillary FORTRAN subroutines in which the standards were initially programmed, but with GOFLIBC2015 you can perform the same calculations with a C compiler. GOFLIBC2015 has been compiled with Microsoft C compiler version 7.0 and Borland C++ version 3.1. We have made an effort to remain as close to ANSI C as possible for portability among different C compilers and therefore we don't foresee any major changes going from different C compilers.
