Abstract: One of the most important components in the measurement of natural gas is the flow computer. The flow computer has replaced the chart recorder as the preferred method of calculating and recording the proper volume of natural gas flowing through the meter. Flow computers are used with every kind of metering technology. Orifice meters, ultrasonic meters, turbine meters, cone meters, and require calculations to be performed in order to produce the final volumes that are reported. The accuracy of these final volumes is an extremely important issue when it comes to proper sales, billing, system balances, and accounting. This paper discusses what the function of a flow computer is, how the flow computer calculates flowrates and volumes, what information is necessary for a flow computer, and the causes and effects of possible errors. While flow computers are used in many applications, this paper will only cover the use of flow computers in natural gas measurement
