  • Publication number: 20180180586
    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for measuring characteristics of a gaseous fuel are provided. For example, an apparatus comprises injection valves controllable at a preset frequency and duty cycle. A first injection valve is connected to an air supply line and a first replaceable orifice. A second replaceable orifice is connected to a common supply line. The common supply line is selectively coupled, via a valve system, to one of a plurality of calibration gases or at least one gas under testing. The air and one of the calibration gases or one of the gases under testing are supplied to a mixer through the respective injection valves and the respective orifices. The mixer outputs an output gas via an output gas line to a heating element. The preset frequency, duty cycle and dimensions of the output gas line are set to have a continuous gas flow to the heating element.
