What is 'Wobbe factor' in SAP IS-U-BI-SF-GA - Gas Billing?

Wobbe factor - Overview

• Component: IS-U-BI-SF-GA

• Component Name: Gas Billing

• Description: Factor used for correcting the gas law deviation factor. For quantity conversions with a set gas law deviation factor DFs, DFs must be corrected with the Wobbe factor W if the actual gas has a different gas law deviation factor DFa. In this case, W = DFs/DFa. In order that the volume correction factor can be calculated with the actual compressibility, the portion of the set compressibility is multiplied by the Wobbe factor in the volume correction factor formula. This is represented by the following formula: 1/DFs x W = 1/DFs x DFs/DFa = 1/DFa

  Key Concepts: 
  The Wobbe factor is a measure of the energy content of a fuel. It is used in the Gas Billing component of SAP IS-U to calculate the amount of energy consumed by a customer. The Wobbe factor is calculated by dividing the calorific value of the fuel by its specific gravity. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The Wobbe factor is used in SAP IS-U to calculate the amount of energy consumed by a customer. The Wobbe factor is used in conjunction with other factors such as the calorific value and specific gravity of the fuel to calculate the amount of energy consumed. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When calculating the Wobbe factor, it is important to ensure that all relevant factors are taken into account. This includes the calorific value and specific gravity of the fuel, as well as any other factors that may affect the calculation. 
  
  Related Information: 
  The Wobbe factor is closely related to other measures of energy content such as calorific value and specific gravity. It is important to understand how these measures interact with each other in order to accurately calculate the amount of energy consumed by a customer.
