Abstract: There is a continuing trend in the oil and gas industries, including production, transmission, and distribution units, away from traditional paper chart recorder measurement toward the use of microprocessor based electronic flow measurement (EFM). These flow computers provide digital calculation of volumes using AGA 3 (American Gas Association Orifice Metering Report Number 3) or optionally AGA-7 (Turbine Metering). Compressibility compensation calculations using AGA-8 (Compressibility Factors of Natural Gas) are also typically included. This change in the method of volume flow measurement continues to have a significant effect on the economics of measurement for these industries. The ability to accurately determine product volumes provides the foundation for integrated measurement and control solutions that increase safety of operation and insure environmental compliance.
