Abstract
A method for analyzing various components in a natural gas pipeline with the aid of a computer controlled gas chromatograph comprising the steps of: (a) providing the computer control unit with a data base for operating the gas chromatograph including at least: (1) periodically causing a sample of the natural gas to be supplied to the gas chromatograph; (2) operating the gas chromatograph to analyze the various components in the natural gas stream; (3) computing the amount of the various components in the natural gas stream; and (4) reporting the amount of components in the natural gas stream.
