Abstract: The role of a measurement specialist is more unique than any other job description in an organization. We dont make policy, but do follow precise guidelines and tolerances as established by law, industry standards, and company policy. While we work for, and are paid by, a specific organization, every job we do positions us in the middle between buyer and seller. Our companies hold either of these definitions at various times. It is incumbent upon us to communicate the results of our work in a clear and concise manner to both technical and non-technical colleagues. Most of us convey this information in writing by memo or letter, and there may be a few who still do this verbally - not a good method in this day and age. There is another way to report measurements that no only shows volume and flow rates, but also demonstrates the health of the metering system. Once established, a meter control chart requires less time than a memo and provides detailed information for various areas of the management and finance team. Unlike the memo or the letter, the control chart is a graphical representation that a non-technical person can understand with little knowledge of the craft. Additionally, the control chart is invaluable to the people actually doing the work on the equipment. This paper will introduce the reader to this powerful, yet simple, tool and encourage its use.
