Abstract: El Paso Natural Gas Company is a major gas production and transmission subsidiary of Burlington Resources. EPNG operates facilities in six states and moved 1.35 trillion cubic feet of gas through 22,644 miles of pipeline in 1988. El Paso operates and maintains approximately 14,000 orifice metering installations involved in the measurement of purchase, sales, exchange, transportation, and company usage of natural gas volumes. Each of these facilities requires an accounting of measured volumes/MMbtu for use in the operation and custody transfer for gas volume settlement. The most widely used device for the measurement of natural gas is the flange tap orifice meter, which consists of two separate devices. The first and Primary Element is an orifice plate installed between flange taps of a meter tube. The orifice plate and the meter tube are designed and constructed to meet or exceed the minimum specifications outlined in the American Gas Association Report #3, Orifice Metering of Natural Gas.
