Abstract: The design criteria of a Portable Measuring Station is the same as for a permanent one, but with a few more added. The primary function of such a station is to measure quantity of gas, The flow rale, static pressure, and flow temperature are the controlling properties that determine what primary device should be used. It should be remembered that no one primary device is good for all flow rates. The flow rate should be scrutinized carefully to make sure that all changes in flow rates can be measured, An orifice plate has a usable range of 5:1 and still maintains a reasonable accuracy. The average positive displacement meter has a usable range from practically zero flow up to their maximum capacity. The average turbine meter has a range of about 12:1. The flow rate might be of such a nature that more than one device will have to he used to measure it accurately. Each of the above measurement devices has its advantages and disadvantages over the others. These differences will not be discussed here. The accuracy of a device is not always Ihe deciding factor in choosing it. To field personnel the most important thing is to have a device that requires little or no maintenance. Since Ihesc people are the ones that have to live with it and it is their responsibility to see that it works it behooves us to listen to their suggestions.
