Abstract: A thought always in the back of the mind of many people in the natural gas industry is the elimination of the problems associated with use of orifice meter charts. These problems are due primarily to the delay involved in chart mailing, processing, and volume calculations. A comprehensive and sophisticated computer program is required to accomplish these calculations. It usually requires from five to eight days to arrive at a chart volume due to mailing, processing, and computing time requirements. In addition, some companies only calculate volumes periodically during the month. This results in no actual volumes until late in the month. In an effort to solve these problems, various techniques such as integrating orifice meters, pneumatic and electronic computers, mass meters and various turbine and rotary meter combinations have been tried. The success of all of these methods has been impaired by two central problems: how to compute supercompressibility, and how to account for specific gravity.
