Abstract: Mass measurement calculations are performed on product that has been measured in any of the three following arrangements: Volume meter and density meter setup Direct weighing with scales Coriolis Force Flowmeter The results obtained from the meter system or scale is in pounds. In the oil and gas industry most of our products are sold on a volume basis therefore, the pounds need to be converted to some form of volume such as gallons or barrels. In order for the two parties to negotiate transactions with different products, the product units need to all be on a common basis. The basis conditions used are defined in the agreement or the contract made between the parties in question. If the parties had agreed to perform their transaction in pounds there would be no need to worry about what the base conditions are since pressure and temperature do not impact mass. Some of the reasons for this such as the solution mixing affect and compressibility and the use of volume correction tables are covered in other papers presented at this school.
