Abstract: There are many causes for natural gas flow rate measurement errors at field meter stations. Many of the sources for meter error are identified in the proceedings of this conference. For instance, er rors can result from an improper installation configuration, calibration of a mete r at conditions other than t he actual operating conditions, or degradation of meter performance over time. Indust ry standards have been developed to help meter station designers and operators avoid situations that would produce gas metering er rors. Typically, gas meter standards address meter design, construction, installation, operation, and maintenance. Most of the standards focus on the flow meter and the piping immediately upstream and downs tream of the meter. Rese arch has shown that many meter types, particularly infer ential meters, are susceptible to errors when the flow field at the meter is distorted. The sources of flow field distortions are many.
