Title: Some Fundamental Principles Of Orifice Meters

Abstract: It is very appropriate on this 50th Anniversary session of the meter school, that orifice meters should be one of the subjects for discussion. I believe no other piece of measurement equipment has contributed so much to the gas industry, for without some means to safely, equitably and accurately determine the amount of gas being bought and sold, the industry could not have grown as fast and as well as it has. Other types of meters such as displacement and turbine meters have come into use to be sure, but for the measurement of large volumes of gas at high pressure, the simple orifice meter is preeminent. This year we have a new name for the school - International School of Hydrocarbon Measurement - not only to recognize the worldwide aspects and growth of the gas industry and the important role these sessions play, but also to acknowledge that gas is but a part of a large field of hydrocarbons, which includes many vapors and liquids as well as fuel gases. In the handling of liquids, vaporst and gases, orifice meters have long been recognized and used.
