Abstract: Measurement and transfer of petroleum liquids combine planning, technology, human interaction and documentation to ensure for an accurate transaction. The American Petroleum Institute drafted the Ndanual of Petroleum Measurement Standards (MPMS) for the purpose of standardizing procedures, equipment, terms and arithmetical calculations used in the transfer or sale of petroleum liquids. These standards ensure thiat parties arrive at equal quantities. But given such standards, technology and planning, measurement discrepmcies still occur. A variance between two parties often becomes debated issues as Which measurement system is more accurate? Which system is correct? What process of elimination should be use? Given all things equal, how are variances resolved? This paper reviews sources of and solutions to resolving differences in liquid meajurements.
