Abstract: Auditing gas measurement and accounting systems has rapidly become more complex over about the last quarter century as computer-based flow meters and other modern measurement technologies have come into wider use. Before the 1980s, measurement auditing was often little more than verifying chart integration and digging through piles of field test slips looking for incorrect gas quality information, missed orifice plate changes, and errant calibration adjustments. Today, gas measurement auditing is more demanding than ever before as we depend on high-speed computer and communication networks to gather massive amounts of information required in todays fast-paced energy industry. Meter performance data, energy rates, volume rates, pressures, temperatures, flow factors, meter diagnostics, and other information is included in this enormous and ever-growing mountain of information. Much of the information collected through measurement systems is useful in ways other than simply calculating flow. Gas measurement data are also frequently used to monitor, track, and record operating conditions relating to safety, pipeline integrity, fugitive emissions, and system management
