Abstract: In the gas industry there is a continuous demand for greater accuracy in all phases of operations. This is emphasized by the increasing cost of gas. Therefore, it is in the best interest of all parties concerned to obtain the most accurate measurement possible. Each metering station should have an accuracy priority established. The priority level would be determined by the amount of sales or purchases going through the station. The larger the station, the more accurate the measurement should be. As the future price of gas continues to rise, you will see the accuracy priority continue to lower in order to take in lesser volumes. The orifice meter has long been an accepted standard of measurement in the gas industry and has proven to be a most reliable measuring device. The better the condition of the meter tube, orifice plate, and flow recorder, the more accurate the measurement will be.
