Abstract
A method for determining hydrocarbon conversion factors for a flowmeter 17. A mixture of air, O.sub.2 and C.sub.x H.sub.y is burned and the partial pressure of O.sub.2 in the resulting gas is forced to equal the partial pressure of O.sub.2 in air. The flowrate of O.sub.2 flowing into the mixture is measured by flowmeter 13 and the flowrate of C.sub.x H.sub.y flowing into the mixture is measured by the flowmeter 17 conversion factor is to be determined. These measured values are used to calculate the conversion factor.
