This is a term that is used to describe how much heat is generated when a volume of gas is burned away. The calorific value of your gas will always be displayed on your energy bill. If you'd like [..]

Amount of heat given by the specified quantity of gas. This is used to calculate the energy consumed based on the volume of gas used. It is measured in joules per kilogram.

The ratio of energy to volume measured in mega joules per cubic meter (MJ/m).

Calorific Value is the quantity of heat produced by the complete combustion of a fuel. This can be measured dry or saturated with water vapour; and net or gross. See also Gross Calorific Value

of the gas and mean that pipeline capacity is being wasted. Whether or not they should be removed is simply a question of economics. See also Treatment

Also known as Dry gas. The converse of Rich Gas.

This relates to the gas you use, and is a measure of how much heating power your gas contains. The calorific value will be the amount of energy that is released upon combustion of a unit of gas. The c [..]

The amount of heat released by the complete combustion of a fuel, expressed in kilowatt-hours (kWh) or in megajoules (MJ) per cubic meter.

A measure of the energy released as heat when a fuel is burned. It may be measured wet (with water vapour) or dry (after the water vapour has been removed). It may also be measured gross or net – gros [..]

The energy content of a unit quantity of fuel. There are two calorific values: the gross (high) and the net (low) calorific value. The gross value is that which is obtained when all of the products of [..]

the quantity of heat produced by the complete combustion of a fuel. This can be measured dry or saturated with water vapour; and net or gross. The general convention is dry and gross.

The amount of heat generated when a given mass of fuel is completely burned. You can calculate energy use in kilowatt-hours (kWh) by converting it from its calorific value. See "Combined ener [..]

the energy content of a fuel measured as the heat released on complete combustion.

The number of units of heat obtained by the complete combustion of a unit mass of a substance.

The calorific value of a fuel is the quantity of heat produced by a given weight of the fuel on complete combustion.

The amount of energy produced by the complete combustion of a material or fuel. Measured in units of energy per amount of material, e.g. kJ/kg. The amount of energy available from an item of food [..]

The quantity of heat that can be liberated from one pound of coal or oil measured in BTU's.
