Abstract: The accurate measurement of natural gas is an important part of the management of energy. In the past, measurement information was needed at month end for closing of the books now daily and even hourly data, for system balancing, is needed. There are many methods available to accurately determine gas quantity and quality. Some of the most common are orifice, turbine, and positive displacement measurement. Ultrasonic flow metering is becoming an accepted form of custody transfer measurement since the recent approval of AGA Report No. 9. With the industry wanting more information faster, companies are migrating towards electronic measurement. The primary devices are not expected to change but the secondary devices sure will. Smart is available in transmitters, SCADA. and other secondary instrument, giving incredible options to the customer. However, to discuss each part of the systems from field metering to gas accounting would be lengthy. Our objective is a better understanding of the major components necessary for the measurement of natural gas.
