ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for determining the effective composition of a mixture of gases including a plurality of hydrocarbon gases, the method comprising selecting one or more effective hydrocarbons to represent the plurality of hydrocarbon gases in the gas mixture, the number of effective hydrocarbons being less than the number of hydrocarbon gases in the gas mixture whose composition is to be determined; measuring a number of characteristics of the gas mixture whose effective composition is to be determined, the number of characteristics to be measured being one less than the total number of components to be determined and determining the effective composition of the mixture of gases from the measurements of the characteristics of the gas mixture, a predetermined parameter dependent upon the characteristic measured and knowing that the sum of the components of the gas mixture equals 100%.
