Abstract: In todays competitive gas market, it is of paramount importance we focus on change of flow requirements. All industries have cash registers, and gas distribution is no exception. Our measuring stations are our cash register. The problem is, these stations were designed 10, 20, 30 or even 50 years ago, and are now performing tasks they were not designed for. Therefore, changes must be made. Measurement personnel today must be trained and taught to cope with changing flow requirements. But, modifying a station to meet todays aggressive market can be very expensive. Equipment, such as Regulators, Orifice measurement, Coriolis measurement, Ultrasonic measurement and Turbine measurement must meet A.G.A. 3, A.G.A. 7 and A.G.A. 9 requirements. The secondary element (the recording device) can raise expenditures significantly. Sometimes modifications can be made to deliver the specified volume of product needed rather than replacing the complete station to save expenditures. To handle these situations effectively, technicians must be trained to cope with changing flow requirements. Knowing your stations and their characteristics is importance. Technicians must become familiar with the kind of equipment their station has, and its proper use. The goal here is to detail the appropriate methods and equipment required to handle these tasks
