GAS MEASUREMENT Unit 1 Fundamentals of Gas MeasurementUnit 1 of GAS MEASUREMENT, Fundamentals of Gas Measure- ment, provides the learner with a practical grasp of the physical theory behind gas measurement hardware and practices. This unit teaches the relationships between gas pressure, tempera- ture and volume. From this, the unit proceeds to explain Boyle's Law, Charles’ Law and the General Gas Law. The difference between real and ideal gases provides the basis for an understanding of super-compressibility—the Z factor. GAS MEASUREMENT, Fundamentals of Gas Measurement, explains absolute, gage and atmospheric pressures, as well as the difference between the Fahrenheit and Rankine temperature scales, The concepts of specific gravity and density are also covered. The problem of calculating standard volume from measured volume provides a practical focus for the theory and concepts.GAS MEASUREMENT Unit 1- Fundamentals of Gas Measurement TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE 1. Anything that moves has kinetic energy. Since gas molecules move constantly, they (possess /do not possess) kinetic energy. possess 2. The faster a molecule moves, the (more/less) kinetic more energy it has. 3. This drawing shows a gas in a rigid, closed container. Because they are always moving, the molecules are constantly bumping into other __________ and into molecules the _________ of the container. sides, or walls 4. The more molecules there are in the container, the (more/fewer) collisions will occur more 5, Also, the faster the molecules move, the (more / fewer) more collisions there will be. 6. The temperature of a gas is determined by the average energy of its molecules. kinetic 7. So, an increased temperature in the container can mean that either: the molecules are moving _____; or, faster that more ____ have been added to those molecules already there
