Procedure<br />

You can now see all the natural gas flows available in your database. There are several<br />

country specific flows for natural gas since the gas mixture and its properties vary from<br />

region to region.<br />

8. Open a flow by double clicking on it.<br />

You will now see the flow dialog box. In this window you can see, that the flow is<br />

automatically defined to be an input or output flow, or the flow type is undefined, when it<br />

can be both. This categorisation is done automatically based on the location of the flow<br />

within the <strong>GaBi</strong> database. The reference quantity of a flow is mostly the mass, this means<br />

that the reference unit of the flow is kg and that all other quantities refer to this reference<br />

quantity. Quantities can be thought of as the properties of a flow. Another quantity could<br />

be e.g. number of pieces, length, volume and so on. In the quantity list you can see which<br />

quantities are associated to this flow. Any additional quantities can be defined.<br />

<strong>GaBi</strong> databases are completely open but predefined objects are also protected.<br />
