Abstract: The orifice meter is the cash register of the gas industry. If you have not already heard that statement, you probably havent been in gas measurement very long. And when you do hear it, it is a statement with which you should take exception. A cash register is a device used to store money and comes in an infinite number of forms from microprocessor-oriented to a cigar box, and is important to any business. However, whan a dealer in precious metals purchases a few ounces of gold, you can be certain it will not be weighed on a cash register. Neither will the kilowatt hours used in your home be metered through a cash register. The orifice meter, the gold dealers balance, and the electric meter are all accurate measurement devices, and are of much greater importance than a cash register, for the accuracy of the measurement device determines whether the amount of money deposited in or taken from the cash register for a certain amount of a commodity will be translated into a profit or a loss.
