Abstract: To try to cover this subject in the time allotted is indeed an awesome assignment. Im sure that others have covered this time and time again. With this in mind let us see what can be added and hope that you may take home an idea or two with you. Before a measuring station can be designed, a maximum amount of information must be furnished to the person or persons detailed to do the designing. Numerous questions must be answered. Most of these questions can be answered in a gas contract. Hopefully, the gas contract will tell us of the customers daily maximum flows, his maximum hourly peak flow as well as his minimum hourly flow demands. Daily demands over a period of say 10 years must also be considered. Pipeline inlet pressures as well as delivery pressures must be known. All of the factors will determine the size of regulators, size of station, whether it would be a positive displacement, orifice meter station or whether or not it would be a combination of both. A suitable site is of primary importance. If it is near housing, what about noise and odor? If it is away from population centers, how about the future? Will we be plagued by housing projects to the point that the station will eventually have to be moved? With all this in mind we are now ready to size our regulators and design our station.
