Title: On-Site Proving Off Gas. Turbine Meters

Abstract: With the increased use of natural gas as a fuel, buyers and sellers of natural gas are putting more emphasis on ways to improve their gas measurement and reduce their unaccounted for gas volumes. An error in measurement of only one tenth of one percent (0.1%) on 100 million standard cubic feet of gas per day selling at 5.50 per thousand standard cubic feet of gas will cause an over or under billing of 200,750 in one year. This amount would easily pay for a meter proving system at most high-volume gas meter station sites. However, unlike with most liquid hydrocarbon meter stations, meter proving systems are not typically included in gas meter stations. Under measurement of gas volumes causes loss of revenue. Over measurement of gas volumes may result in a future correction that could cost a gas company millions of dollars. For these reasons, gas meter proving is important and necessary to ensure fair and equitable measurement for both the buyer and seller.
