Abstract: While the basic development of the turbine meter goes back approximately 30 to 40 years, its impact on the petroleum industry has only taken place in the last 12 to 15 years. Even over this time span, the true acceptance of turbine meters has been slow to take place and, in fact, has been just getting a firm foothold in the industry the last 4 or 5 years. The official recognition of the turbine meter as an approved measurement device for the petroleum industry took place with the publication in March, 1970 of API standard 2534 covering the Measurement of Liquid Hydrocarbons by Turbine Meter Systems. Particularly since the publication of this report, the utilization of turbine meters for custody transfer of refined products and light crude oils in pipeline systems/ for tanker or barge loading and unloading and for internal process control has grown substantially. However in spite of the increased acceptance of turbine meters, a great deal of misunderstanding and misapplication still exists. This paper will explain the basic principle of operation and recommended applications for turbine meters.
