Principal Investigator

Dr. Darin L. George

Contracting Agency Minerals Management Service
Completion March 2006
Description

This research assessed the performance level of existing moisture sampling methods and equipment, such as filters, tubing and heating equipment, which are (1) commonly used by the natural gas industry and (2) recommended by manufacturers for use with moisture analyzers. The research will provide guidance for the possible preparation of an industry standard for moisture determination as a tool to avoid pipeline corrosion.
