Title: Micrometer Measurements Of Orifice Meter Tubes

Abstract: Measurements of orifice meter tubes are required to Insure compliance with the tolerances and requirements of the measurement standard commonly referred to as ACA #3. A third edition of the measurement standard is in partial publication, which is now referred to as API 14.3. However, ACA 3, GPA 8190-85 and ANSI 2530 also refer to this same standard. Part 2 of this third edition published in February of 1991 is titled Specification and Installation Requirements. Part 2 covers the tolerances and requirements of orifice meter tubes. Compliance with these is necessary to minimize uncertainty (error) in measurement. Tolerances and requirements have been established to require manufacturers to fabricate tubes that are similar to those used to develop data for the flow equation, i.e. minimize uncertainty. Another important criteria being the consistency of manufacture of tubes between manufacturers.
