GOST Measurement Application User Manual (for FloBoss 107)
Chapter 1 – Overview
This chapter describes the structure of this manual and presents an
overview of the GOST Measurement Application for the FloBoss™
107.
1.1 Scope and Organization
This document serves as the user manual for the GOST Measurement
Application user program, which is intended for use in FloBoss 107
(FB107). This manual describes how to download, install, and configure
the GOST Measurement Application program (referred to as the “GOST
programs” or “the programs” throughout the rest of this manual). You
access and configure this program using ROCLINK™ 800 Configuration
Software (version 1.75 or greater) loaded on a personal computer (PC)
running Microsoft® Windows® 2000 (with Service Pack 2), Windows
XP (with Service Pack 3), Windows Vista™ (32-bit), or Windows 7 (32bit and 64-bit).
The sections in this manual provide information in a sequence
appropriate for first-time users. Once you become familiar with the
procedures and the software running in a FB107, the manual becomes a
reference tool.
This manual assumes that you are familiar with the FB107 and its
configuration. For more information, refer to the following manuals:

The GOST Measurement Application consists of two programs (GOST
Properties and GOST Flow). The GOST Properties program enables a
FB107 to calculate compressibility using the GOST 30319-96
(compressibility) standard. The GOST Flow program enables a FB107
to calculate differential flow rates according to the GOST 8563, GOST
8586, Annubar, and Venturi standards.
The GOST Properties program supports a choice of three algorithms for
calculating compressibility:
Revised May-2016 Introduction 1
GOST Measurement Application User Manual (for FloBoss 107)
VNIC SMV(for natural gas density 0.668 to 1.00 kg/m3)
GERG-91 (for hydrogen sulfide free gas density 0.668 to 0.70
kg/m3)
NX19 (for natural gas density 0.668 to 0.70 kg/m3)
VNIC requires the full gas composition. NX19 and GERG-91 require
N2, CO2, and density at contract conditions. Refer to GOST 30319.1,
GOST 30319.2, and GOST 30319.3 for specific details on the
compressibility calculations and equations.
The GOST Flow program supports a choice of four algorithms for
calculating flow rate:
The GOST Measurement Application version 1.01 is compatible with
FB107 firmware version 1.10 and with version 1.75 (or greater) of
ROCLINK 800 software. Each program requires you to install a
software based license key to enable the calculations.
The downloadable program is:
gost_flowcalc_5.bin5 31, 32 32, 33
gost_properties_3.bin 3 28 29
Note: You must connect a PC to the FB107’s LOI port before starting
the download.

1.3.1 License Key
Some applications require that you install a license in the CPU to run
the application. This license software is specific to these applications
and is the property of the individual vendor (shown in the Vendor Name
field on the License Key Administrator screens).

Chapter 2 – Installation
This section provides instructions for installing the GOST Measurement
programs into FB107 memory. Read Section 1.3 of this manual for
program requirements.
Note: The program and license key can be installed in any order. The
manual shows the installation of the license key first.
2.1 Installing the License Key
A license is required to use the Surface Control Manager program. To
install a license on the FB107:
1. Insert the USB license key in a USB port on your PC.
2. Select Utilities > License Key Administrator > Transfer Between
DEVICE and KEY from the ROCLINK 800 menu bar. The
Transfer Licenses Between a Device and a Key screen displays:
Figure 2-1. Transfer Licenses Between a Device and a Key
Note: This screen has three sections. The upper portion (Licenses
on Device) shows any software licenses installed on the
FB107. The middle portion (Licenses on Key) shows
software licenses on the license key. The lower portion of the
screen (License Key Event Log) provides a rolling log of the
last eight events related to this license key.
3. Select the key-based licenses you want to transfer to the FB107
(GOST_FlowCalc, as shown in Figure 2-2).
Revised May-2016 Installation 5
GOST Measurement Application User Manual (for FloBoss 107)
4. Click Move to Device. ROCLINK moves one instance of the license
from the key to the FB107 and updates the screen.
Figure 2-2. License Installed
Note: An FB107 can hold up to six different licenses, although you
can install only one instance of each license on the FB107.
When you click Move to Device, ROCLINK 800 moves
only one instance of the license onto the FB107 and
automatically decreases the license quantity on the USB key
by one.
5. Verify the license name displays in the Licenses on Device section
of the screen. Proceed to Section 2.2 to download the user program.
2.2 Downloading the GOST Flow Calculating Program
This section provides instructions for installing the GOST Measurement
programs into the Flash memory on the FB107.
Notes:
The GOST Measurement Application consists of two program files,
GOST_FlowCalc_5.bin and GOST_Properties_3.bin. The programs
may be run separately and are independent of each other. This
manual assumes you are installing both programs.
Connect a PC to the FloBoss’s LOI port before starting the
download.

Chapter 3 – Configuration
After you have loaded the GOST Measurement Application, you
configure it using the ROCLINK 800 software. To do this, you use one
GOST Properties screen (GOST Properties) and two GOST Flow
Calculations screens (GOST Flow Setup and GOST Flow Values):
Use the GOST Properties screen to define program specifics
including calculation method and gas composition.
Use the GOST Flow Setup screen to define meter properties.
Use the GOST Flow Values screen to view flow totals and alarms.
