Abstract: The natural gas industry is currently implementing extensive changes in orifice flow calculations for natural gases. The technical basis for these calculations is provided by the results of cooperative worldwide research carried out in recent years. The technical documentation for the calculation methods appears in the most recent versions (1992) of American Gas Association (A.G.A.) Report No. 3, Orifice Metering of Natural Gas and Other Related Hydrocarbon Fluids and No. 8, Compressibility Factors of Natural Gas and Other Related Hydrocarbon Gases, and Chapter 14 of the American Petroleum Institute (API) Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards. It should be noted that Section 2 of Chapter 14 of API MPMS is equivalent to A.G.A. Report No. 8 (Reference 1). Also, it should be noted that the following are equivalent documents: (1) Section 3 of Chapter 14 of API MPMS, (2) A.G.A. Report No. 3, (3) GPA 8185, (4) API 2530 and (5) ANSI/API 2530 (Reference 2).
