Abstract: The natural gas industry has been using orifice meters for custody transfer since the early 1900s. Not until the late 1980s has the orifice regained its reliability. It really never lost its dominance only some people thought that other types of meters would do the job easier and with greater accuracy. Through the introduction of the electronic transmitter and the electronic flow computer the problems with pulsations were exposed to all modes of measurement. Through establishment of the Pipeline Compressor Research Council by the Southern Gas Association and in conjunction with the Southwest Research Institute, San Antonio, Texas, years of data gathering in the lab and in the field found the orifice was not the root to all evil in custody transfer. All this data is now public domain for public use. This paper will show how the manifolds of present design has helped to minimize problems in measurement accuracy and in some installations completely solved gage line distortions.
