Title: Turbine And Velocity Meters

Abstract: Both diaphragm and rotary meters have practical limitations in capacity by virtue of their si2e and weight. Theoretically we can make either of these meters large enough to measure eyen the largest load encountered today. However, a diaphragm or rotary meter the size of a small house can hardly he considered practical. Even a cursory examination of manufacturing costs, installation space required, and the necessary maintenance and repair practices would rule out these designs. Orifice meters have been widely used on the big loads over the long years of natural gas service history in this country. Another type of meter more recently introduced is the turbine meter. Less than 10 years have passed since this measuring device has been offered to the gas industry in this country, yet its acceptance and usage has proven it to be a reliable unit which meets the accuracy requirements of our industry.
