Abstract: It would seem with the advent of electronic measurement and electronic custody transfer of natural aas and other petroleum products that witnessinq orifice meter calibration and field testinq would become an obsolete practice in the petroleum industry. This, however, is not the case. Due to low volume measurement, remote locations, dollar cost of electronic measurement, and aareements between companies reqardina electronic custody transfer, witnessinq orifice meter calibration and field testinq will continue to be an inteqral part of the petroleum industrys future. Even as technoloqy moves forward and electronic measurement becomes common within the petroleum industry, electronic hardware used in measurement will, like the orifice recorder, only be a secondary measurinq device. The meter tube and orifice olate will continue to be the primary measurinq device. Due to these circumstances witnessinq orifice meter calibration and field testinq will also continue to be important even thouqh some emphasis will be shifted to witnessinq field testinq of electronic equipment. The information in this paper is not meant to be an absolute but to be used as a quide in witnessinq and field testinq orifice meters. There are many variables in testinq which, due to the lenqth of this paper, will not be discussed
