Abstract: Natural gas measurement is the center of any natural gas utility. The ability to measure natural gas is key to generating the revenue to maintain and improve utilities natural gas infrastructure. While Natural Gas has been in use for millenia, Natural Gas Measurement is a relatively recent development. The industry started out with a single rate system in which all paid the same price regardless of gas consumption. Of course, this system was very unfair as all users didnt use the same amount of gas. Today utilities spend millions of dollars to install, maintain, and upgrade their metering systems. Meters are placed throughout the transmission and distribution systems all to gain the most accurate measurement possible. Natural gas measurement today is accomplished by different types of meters. Positive displacement meters measure the actual volume of gas displaced through them. Diaphragm meters are one type of positive displacement meters and will be discussed throughout this paper. This paper will present basic operation principles, accuracy, rangeability, and benefits of diaphragm metering technologies used throughout the natural gas industry today
