Abstract: Meter measurement of liquified petroleum gases has become of great importance to the petroleum industry as is witnessed by the increased efforts devoted to this phase of measurement. Among the reasons for this mounting emphasis, are: 1. Growing popularity of LPG motor fuels and increased demands for use in industrial procressing. 2. The development and rapid expansion of high volume pipeline systems for the transportation of LPG. 3. The utilization of large volume underground storage facilities such as the Salt Dome and mined types. Measurement by mechanical flow meters has proved to be the most practicable and reliable method of accurately determining the liquid volumes mentioned in the operations above. The discussion that follows will be limited in scope to the measurement of LP gases in the liquid state that is, at pressures above the vapor pressure for the operating temperature. It will also be confined to measurements as performed by mechanical flow meters of the positive displacement or turbine type. These two meter types achieve rotary motion proportional to the rate of flow through them.
