Abstract: The problems of wet gas measurement are many and varied, and are very familiar to the natural gasoline plant operator and his meterman. They include all the problems of dry gas measurement plus distinct problems peculiar to wet gas handUng. Gas measurement, to some, means the measuring of gas by means of an orifice meter. It is known that the orifice meter is accepted as an accurate means of measuring gas, also that it makes an hourly record of the static pressure on a gas line and that it records a pressure differential caused by an orifice plate inserted in the line. A volume of gas that is clean and dry is ideal for orifice meter measurement. Any gas going to a natural gasoline plant is wet. It is, in reality, gasoline vapor that comes off the oil together with some dissolved gas. When the atmospheric temperature drops, or the line pressure rises, this gas condenses into a liquid. When high vacuum Is carried on a formation, water vapor comes off with the gas and this also condenses under similar conditions.
