Abstract: High pressure gas measurement is usually thought of in connection with high pressure gasoline or cycling plants. In 1943, there were thirtyfour high pressure cycling plants in the United States. These plants had a combined capacity of 2,204,000 MCF per day. Since then, other such plants have been built and additions made to existing ones which have increased this capacity to conservatively three billion cubic feet of gas per day. Most of these high pressure plants have been constructed during the last four years. This accounts for the fact that the problems in tlie measurement of high pressure gas are still many, varied and at least partially unsolved, infinitely more so than in the measurement of low pressure gas. Because of the nature of the products recovered in this type plant and the large volume of gas processed through them, they have taken a very prominent place in the industry. The products which they manufacture are usually high in octane rating or are specification products requiring very little further processing by refineries to make them available as high quality finished materials. They are particularly important from the standpoint of gas production since the raw material which they process consists entirely of gas and since they process such large volumes relative to the amount of equipment installed. The residue gas from such plants has become one of the chief sources for the supply of natural gas. The value of gas at the tail gate of high pressure plants has increased tremendously during the last year and a half. No definite market had previously been established. The increased value and the steady market has caused all interested parties to require more accurate accountmg of all gas produced and disposed of, and has further caused state regulatory and conservation bodies to scrutinize more closely the methods of production and disposition.
