Abstract: In the spring of 1988, API formed a committee to develop a standard focused on minimum requirements for electronic flow measurement. The committee comprised of 17 individuals representing the oil and gas industry and equipment suppliers. After 4-plus years and many meetings, the 1993 standard was born. Under normal API standards policy, most standards are reviewed about every 5 to 7 years. So, in March 2006, it was decided to update the standard after it had been in use for over 14 years! The proposed update is aimed at addressing new metering technologies such as intelligent transmitters and flowing devices that have become the norm in todays measurement world. The Scope section of the proposed standard focuses on encompassing these technologies as well as many other issues.
