Title: Introduction To Orifice Measurement
Author: Thomas G. Voisey

Year Published: 1975
Abstract: With the advent of severe gas shortages and the inevitable increase in the price of gas, it becomes more important that much care be given to insure the accuracy of all forms of gas measurement. Orifice measurement, by its very nature, is used to measure large volumes of gas. Strict adherence to specified design tolerances and accepted test and inspection procedures are essential for accurate measurement. The standards for the design, installation, and calculation of flow of orifice meters have been set forth in the publication entitled Orifice Metering of Natural Gas, Gas Measurement Committee Report Number Three, sponsored by the American Gas Association. The facts and figures contained in this report were derived by running many actual tests on orifice meters under various conditions that would be found in the field. Data contained in Report Number Three are the basis for the test and inspections outlined in this paper.
