Abstract: In the gas industry, as in all other business, there is a demand for greater accuracy in every phase of operation. In this industry, there is no single place where accuracy is so much a must as it is in the measurement of gas. Basically, the orifice meter is the cash register of the gas industry. Money is made or lost depending on the time and effort devoted to the maintenance and operation of the orifice meter. To be sure, the orifice meter is not the ultimate in measuring devices but at present it is the most adaptable and flexible equipment for the purpose it serves. Both the buyer and seller are dependent upon the accuracy of orifice meter measurement. To obtain the accuracy the following policy should be adhered to: calibrated equipment must be properly installed serviced and operated. While operating and maintenance procedures are not the same with each company, the selection of meter runs and orifice plates must conform to the standards of the American Gas Association Committee reports. It is recognized that there may be exceptions to many of the statements made here in reference to maintenance and operation because of different personnel and different ways in which the job is accomplished. However, all methods are correct.
