Abstract: Natural gas consumption in the Developing Asia region is projected to triple to 22 trillion cubic feet by the year 2025. Consequently, the natural gas pipeline infrastructure in the Asia Pacific region is rapidly expanding. The development of the Trans ASEAN Pipeline System will require a vast increase in custody transfer measurements for cross border sales. Large domestic projects such as the West East Pipeline Project in China also require significant custody transfer measurements. Owners and operators for most of these new metering skids have selected gas ultrasonic meters as the metering technology. Turnkey metering solutions, which include packaged metering skids with complete analyzer packages, are being supplied. Many of these metering systems employ redundant flow meters with the provision to run the meters in series to compare the performance of the duty and standby meters. Proper station design is crucial to obtain the maximum performance from the custody transfer metering including data on measurement and on-line diagnostics to monitor meter and system performance. This paper will present an over view of design considerations which should be evaluated when planning an ultrasonic metering system and the diagnostic information available to monitor performance.
