Abstract: Gas is a fluid )of such nature that when it is inserted into a closed container, such as a vessel or pipeline, the gas will distribute itself evenly throughout the container. It is not conveniently weighed, such as solids and liquids. Volume can be determined however, the quantity depends on pressure and temperature, so these also have to be measured. These three factors, known at the PVT variables, can be related mathematically by means of the gas laws to measure gas in pipelines or through displacement type meters, sometimes known as quantity meters. Pressure and temperature are also used in orifice-type meters, sometimes referred to as rate of flow meters.
