Abstract: Natural gas measurement is the vertebrae of any natural gas utility. Without the ability to measure, it would be impossible to account for the flow of gas from receipt to delivery. Very much like an accountant that labors to keep the ledger balanced, a utility needs metering to balance the gas producers receipts against the end customer delivery. The first natural gas utilities did not have the ability to measure their gas deliveries. The initial high costs and slow growth of the industry logically gave way to the need to measure the delivered energy. Today utilities spend millions of dollars to install, maintain, and upgrade their cash registers. Meters are placed throughout the transmission and distribution systems all in an effort to balance the inflows and the outflows. Natural gas measurement today is accomplished through the use of different types of meters. Positive displacement meters measure the actual volume of gas displaced through them. Diaphragm meters are one type of positive displacement meters and will be discussed throughout this paper.
