1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Scope and Organization
This document serves as the user manual for the GOST Compressibility User Program (QER 05Q040),
which is intended for use in a FloBoss™ 103. This manual describes how to download and configure
this program (referred to as the “GOST Compressibility program” or “the program” throughout the rest
of this manual). You access and configure this program using ROCLINK 800 Configuration Software
(version 1.60 or greater) loaded on an IBM-compatible personal computer running Windows
98, NT
4.0 (with Service Pack 6), 2000 (with Service Pack 2), or XP.
The sections in this manual provide information in a sequence appropriate for first-time users. Once you
become familiar with the procedures and the software running in a FloBoss 103, the manual becomes a
reference tool.
This manual has the following major sections:
Section 1 – Introduction
Section 2 – Installation
Section 3 – Configuration
Section 4 – Reference
This manual assumes that you are familiar with the FloBoss unit and its configuration. For more
information, refer to the FloBoss 103 and 104 Flow Managers Instruction Manual (Form A6114) or the
ROCLINK 800 Configuration Software User Manual (Form A6121).
1.2 Product Overview
The GOST Compressibility program enables a FloBoss 103 to calculate compressibility and create and
store historical values using the GOST 30319-96 (compressibility) standard. This program replaces the
AGA8 compressibility calculation. It uses AGA structures where possible and provides a program-
specific GOST Properties Data screen (see Figure 12) for entering additional program-specific
parameters.
With the program installed, the FloBoss 103 performs—at a scan period you define—a GOST 30319
compressibility calculation. The GOST compressibility calculation provides a value for gas
compressibility at flowing conditions and base conditions. (The fluids and composition ranges for which
the program is designed are natural gas and other related hydrocarbons, as defined in GOST 30319.2-
96.) You configure the program using (where possible) the AGA interface and a program-specific
GOST Properties Data screen. You retrieve calculated values through the same screens.
The program supports a choice of three algorithms:
VNIC (for natural gas density 0.668 to 1.00 kg/m
3
)
NX19 (for natural gas density 0.668 to 0.70 kg/m
3
)
GERG-91 (for hydrogen sulfide free gas density 0.668 to 0.70 kg/m
3
)
VNIC requires the full gas composition. NX19 and GERG-91 require N
2
, CO
2
, and density at contract
conditions.

Revised Jul-06 2
Refer to GOST 30319.1, GOST 30319.2, and GOST 30319-3 for specific details on the compressibility
calculations and equations.
1.3 Program Requirements
You download the GOST Compressibility program to—and then run it from—the Flash and RAM
memory on the FloBoss 103. The GOST Compressibility program is compatible only with firmware
version 2.12 (or greater) of the FloBoss 103. Download and configure the program using the ROCLINK
800 Configuration software (version 1.60 or greater).
The downloadable program is:
File Name Unit Task Code Data UDPs
GostProperties.bin FloBoss 103 User 2 7B0000-BFFFF 470000-470FFF 30
Note: You must connect a PC to the FloBoss unit’s LOI port before starting the download.

3 CONFIGURATION
After you have loaded the GOST Compressibility program, you configure it using the ROCLINK 800
software. To do this, you use two standard ROCLINK 800 screens (Device Information and Meter
Setup) and one program-specific screen (GOST Properties Data):
Use the Device Information to select Metric engineering units.
Use the Gas Quality and Advanced tabs on the Meter Setup screen to identify parameters
affected by the GOST compressibility program.
Use the GOST Properties Data screen to set the program-specific parameters.
3.1 Device Information Screen
Use this screen to review the default units.
1. From the ROCLINK 800 screen, select ROC > Information. The Device Information screen
displays.
Figure 8. Device Information
2. Review—and change as necessary—the value in the following field:
Field Description
Units
Sets the engineering units the program uses. Metric is the required value for
this program.
3. Click Apply if you changed the value in this field.
4. Click OK to return to the ROCLINK 800 screen.

3.2 Meter Setup Screen – Gas Quality Tab
Use the Gas Quality tab on the Meter Setup screen to provide values for the VNIC gas compressibility
and density calculations.
Note: Complete this screen only if you intend to use the VNIC algorithm. Otherwise, proceed to
section 3.3 to complete the Advanced tab, which affects all compressibility algorithms.
1. From the ROCLINK 800 screen, select Meter > Setup. The Meter Setup screen displays.
2. Select the Gas Quality tab.
Figure 9. Meter Setup Gas Quality Tab
3. Review—and change as necessary—the content of the following fields:
Field Description
Nitrogen through
Hydrogen
Sets, by mole percentage, the amount of a particular gas in the total gas
mixture. Default values are 96% Methane, 3% Ethane, and 1% Nitrogen. The
program maintains a running total of all percentages and displays that total in
the Total Mole % field.
Note: If your total does not equal 100%, the program adjusts the Methane
value to meet that 100%.
Log Methane Adjust
Indicates whether the program logs the Methane adjustment event. The default
is Enabled; click Disabled to prevent the system from logging the event.
4. Click Apply to save the changes. Go to Section 3.3.

3.3 Meter Setup Screen – Advanced Tab
Use the Advanced tab on the Meter Setup screen to identify base pressure, base temperature, and
pressure tap type and location the program uses to calculate absolute pressure.
In order to provide program-specific options, the GOST Compressibility program overrides the FPV
Method parameters on the Advanced tab. Changing the FPV on this screen has no effect on the
compressibility calculations.
Additionally, the GOST program now calculates two parameters—Viscosity and Specific Heat Ratio—
that you previously entered.
To access this screen:
1. Select the Advanced tab from the Meter Setup screen.
Figure 10. Meter Setup Advanced Tab
2. Review—and change as necessary—the content of the following fields:
Field Description
Atmospheric
Pressure
Indicates how the program calculates atmospheric pressure. Valid values are
Calculate (use other parameters for the calculation) or Enter (use specific
entered values for the calculation).
Note: If you click Enter, you must also provide a value (in kPa) in the
associated field.
Base Pressure
Identifies, in kPa, the base pressure for the compressibility calculation.
Base Temperature
Identifies, in degrees Centigrade, the base temperature for the compressibility
calculation.
Pressure Tap
Identifies the type and location of the pressure tap. Click the appropriate radio
buttons.

Field Description
Point Number
Identifies the iteration (“logical”) of this screen. 1 is the only valid value, since
the FloBoss 103 permits only one meter run.
Limit Check
Enables the GOST Compressibility program to use limits of use checks on
the process data the compressibility calculations define. Refer to section 4.1
for the specific limit values.
Note: If you enable limit checks but do not satisfy them, the program raises
an alarm and halts all calculations.
Softpt Enable
Enables a host to access data from a softpoint if it cannot access the data
through other means. Valid values are 0 (disable the access) or 1 through 16
(enable the access and indicate the softpoint to use).
For VNIC, enabling softpoints activates the following datapoints:

Force Recalculation
Forces the program to immediately execute the compressibility calculations
rather than waiting for the regular re-calculation period. Select Set to
immediately execute the program calculations. Clear indicates the
calculations occur during the regular re-calculation period.
Note: After you change data on this screen, you must force calculations in
order to re-calculate compressibility.
Base Density
Sets (in kg/m
3
at 20°C and 1.01325 bara) the base density value the
program uses with GERG-91 and NX19 Mod compressibility calculations.
Note: This field is available only if you selected either GERG-91 or NX19 as
a compressibility calculation. VNIC calculates its own value.
N2 Content
Sets, as a mole percentage, the nitrogen content for the GERG-91 or NX19
compressibility calculation.
Note: This field is available only if you selected either GERG-91 or NX19 as
a compressibility calculation. For VNIC, the program reads this value from
the Gas Quality tab on the Meter Setup screen.
CO2 Content
Sets, as a mole percentage, the carbon dioxide content for the GERG-91 or
NX19 compressibility calculation.
Note: This field is available only if you selected either GERG-91 or NX19 as
