Abstract
The subject of the present invention is:processes for the evaluation and the regulation, to a value P0, of the net (or gross) thermal power P of a flow of a combustible gas CG of composition close to that of a reference gas, said flow of gas passing through a flowmeter (7) of thermal mass technology, which is standardized, or standardized and calibrated, for said reference gas;a method of characterizing a flowmeter of thermal mass technology.
