Abstract: The most widely accepted means of measurement of natural gas and other fluids is the Orifice Meter. The primary elements of the orifice meter include the orifice plate, orifice fittings or flanges, adjacent piping and flow conditioner or straightening vanes which make up the Meter Tube. The criteria for design, manufacture and application of orifice meters has existed for many years, but with limited support data. Recent studies from the United States and Europe have proven standards for Orifice Meters to be insufficient to support the uncertainties expected. New data, acquired through extensive testing, has resulted in upgraded standards for design and application of primar gas measurement equipment. These new mechanical standards are established under the API 14..1, Part 2, Specification and Installation Requirements. (AGA Report No. 3, Third Edition).
