Title: Auxiliary Measuring Devices

Abstract: The need for auxiliary measuring devices is a result of characteristics which are inherent in the conventional positive displacement meters and orifice meters. The positive displacement meter has as a major advantage its remarkable accuracy for all rates of flow from practically zero up to the full rated capacity of the meter. However, the maximum capacity of the positive meter is small in relation to the size of the enclosing case. Also, working pressures are usually limited to 250 psi or less. The positive meter indicates the summed up total of the volume of gas that has passed at flowing temperature and pressure. It requires auxiliary devices to convert the volume at the flowing pressure and temperature to the volume at base conditions.
