Abstract: In order to remain competitive in the oil industry today, accurate metering is a necessity, especially in high volume custody transfer operations such as crude oil off-loading and product pipeline shipments. The meters used in these operations, typically a turbine or positive displacement meter, are capable of accuracies of 0.25% or better and are proven using meter provers designed for 0.02% repeatability. With these tools available to us, losses can be identified and hopefully reduced, while generating confidence in the accuracy of the measurement system. Briefly, volume calculation procedures involve correcting a meters registered volume to a standard temperature and pressure base, and determining the meters deviation from true volumes by use of a meter prover. The American Petroleum Institute has published the following standards from which most of the calculation procedures to be discussed are derived:
