Gas Converter 2002

Gas Converter 2002 is a desktop application that performs conversions between units of energy and volume commonly found in the Oil and Gas business. Its simple user interface and small screen "footprint" help make it an unobtrusive tool for daily use.

To convert between units of energy and units of volume, the calorific value of the gas must obviously be known. This varies between fields and platforms, so the Gas Converter 2002 allows for the use of specific calorific values on a field-by-field basis.

Whilst the Gas Converter 2002 comes with the commonest units loaded, it also allows users to add and remove units, to ensure that it matches their needs more exactly. In a similar manner, the user can enter the field-specific calorific values.

Other Features

Some of the main features of the Gas Converter 2002 include the following:

• A simple-to-use, intuitive interface.
  Get up and running as soon as it is installed. No time wasted learning how to use a slow website or convoluted application.

• Convert accurately between units of Energy and units of Volume.
  Any conversion between units of energy and volume requires a calorific value to be used. Don't put up with "industry averages" anymore. Now, you can use the correct calorific value depending on the Terminal or Field you are working with!

• Customisable to suit the user.
  Hiding or showing certain fields on the main screen allows the user to reduce the "footprint" of the application when required, but gives full access to all of the fields when this is preferred.

• Updateable and expandable.
  Users are able to add and remove units, and the conversion rates used, to ensure that it matches their needs more exactly. In a similar manner, the field-specific calorific values can be easily maintained. This can be done on an adhoc or permanent basis, with the data stored on the user's local machine. [Note: The forthcoming Gas Converter Pro allows for the sharing of this information across an office, or entire company]
