Abstract: The transfer and measurement of petroleum liquids combines planning, technology, human interaction and documentation to insure an accurate quantity transaction. The American Petroleum Institute drafted the Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards (MPMS) to guarantee transactions are performed such that all parties arrive at absolute and equal quantities. But given such planning and standards, measurement discrepancies still occur. A variance between two parties often becomes debated issues as Which measurement system is more accurate? How do parties agree on which system is correct? What elimination process is used? All things equal, how are variances resolved? This paper reviews documentation, procedural, meter and tank issues contributing to differences in liquid measurement and methods for resolving these differences.
