Abstract: Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation Is presently utilizing elbow flow meters in determining compression machinery performance and for telemetering pipeline flows do its Gas Control Department. Only elbows of diameter over 20 inches have been used for these experiments, which have been going on for 5 years. Some of our findings are presented here, with the hope of developing interest in the elbow meter and of inspiring broader experimentation. Since Transco did not have any main-line measurement installations at its compressor facilities, the development of a flow measurement device of reasonable accuracy, which would be inexpensive to install and operate, was of great interest to the Company. This device was needed for testing and, in many cases, operating compression machinery. The advances made in methods of testing both centrifugal and reciprocating equipment were becoming totally dependent on the ability to obtain a reasonably accurate flow measurement.
