A flow rate quoted in normal cubic metres per hour refers to volume measured at

  • A.the critical point of the gas concerned
  • B.standard atmospheric humidity and pressure
  • C.a stated reference temperature and pressure
  • D.the actual conditions in the line itself

Answer: C

Correct answer: a stated reference temperature and pressure

A normal cubic metre is a fixed quantity of gas, expressed as the volume it would occupy at a stated reference condition - commonly 0 degrees Celsius and one atmosphere, though the reference must always be checked since standard cubic metres and feet use others. Quoting a gas flow at actual line conditions would say nothing about how much gas was passing, which is precisely why the convention exists.
