Abstract: What is an orifice recorder? The answer usually depends upon who is providing the response. The term orifice meter can mean everything from the orifice plate to the entire meter station. The American Gas Association defines the orifice meter as the complete measuring unit comprised of primary and secondary measurement elements. The primary element consists of an orifice meter tube constructed to meet the minimum recommended specifications of the measurement authority contractually agreed upon by two or more parties. The secondary element consists of equipment that will receive values produced at the primary element. The values may be measured and recorded onto circular paper charts or received by electronic flow computers that calculate a volume on-site, to be retrieved as desired. This paper addresses the Orifice Meter Chart Recorder and endeavors to explain its fundamental workings. The American Gas Association does not specify a particular manufacturer or type of recording instrument to be employed. The person selecting the instruments installed at a metering station should answer the following questions about the instruments.
