Abstract: The most widely accepted means of measurement of natural gas and other fluids is the Orifice Meter. The primary elements of the orifice meter Include the orifice plate, orifice fitting or flanges, adjacent piping and flow conditioner, or straightening vanes which make up the Meter Tube. The criteria for design, manufacture and application of orifice meters has existed for many years, but with limited support data. Recent studies from the United States and Europe have proven standards for Orifice Meters to be inadequate to achieve the degree of accuracy required. Extensive research conducted recently has identified deficiencies in the previous standards and set forth new standards for design and application criteria for orifice meters. These new standards are established under the API.
