Abstract: The Metering Research Facility (MRF) program was initiated at Southwest Research Institute in 1987 by the Gas Research Institute (GRl) in response to gas industry needs for improved accuracy, reliability, and cost effectiveness of metering operations for both custody transfer and other metering applications. The major components of the program have been to: (1) Identify and prioritize industry research needs for improving the state of the art of gas measurement at field metering sites. (2) Design and construct a Low Pressure Loop (LPL) as a world-class test facility for metering applications involving line sizes to 6 inches and pressures to 190 psig, and as a pilot loop for developing and proving design concepts for a larger high pressure facility. (3) Design and construct a High Pressure Loop (HPL) of comparable quality for metering research, development. and testing applications involving meter sizes to 16 inches and pressures to 1440 psig. (4) Conduct research and testing activities in high priority areas as defined by input from gas industry advisors and measurements groups. (5) Make reseirch results available to all segments of the gas industry through a concerted and vigorous program of technology transfer. (6) Make the GRl MRF facilities avaikible for use by other industry groups, gas companies, and equipment manufacturers for research, calibration, and testing programs.
