Abstract: The most widely accepted device for the measurement of natural gas and other fluids is the orifice meter. The primary element of the orifice meter is the orifice plate and orifice meter tube consisting of the orifice fitting, or flanges, adjacent piping, and flow conditioner or stra ighten ing vanes. The properly des igned meter tube should follow the guidelines for manufacture as established by the American Gas Association (AGA) Report No. 3 or American Nat ional Standard/American Petroleum Inst i tute (ANSI/API) Report No. 2530, herein referred to as AGA #3. This paper will address the tolerances, design, and meter tube inspection according to the guidelines of AGA #3.
