Abstract: The American Gas Association (AGA) standard for measurement of natural gas by an orifice flow meter requires that the gas be in a single phase as it flows through the metering area. This condition will allow for accurate measure of the differential pressure across the orifice plate, the flowing gas temperature and pressure, and the component makeup of the gas stream at the metering point. Some gas contracts state that the producer shall condition the gas for metering, which will allow for accurate measurement of gas flowing through the metering station. To meet the AGA and other contractual requirements, personnel need to have a knowledge and operational understanding of production equipment used to condition gas prior to the point of measurement. To achieve the desired condition, field personnel should be properly trained to perform maintenance on and make adjustments to the production equipment in order to achieve optimum flowing conditions within the orifice meter tube.
