Abstract: The need for witnessing gas measurement equipment testing has probably been around since the dawn of the gas custody transfer age. That is, where the gas is physically changing ownership from one entity to another. In the modern age, the old handshake is no longer the equivalent of a valid contract as it once was and rightfully so, each producer, transmission pipeline operator, distribution system owner or transportation broker is concerned that their product is bought and/or sold in as accurate an environment as is humanly possible. Modern day gas prices are volatile to say the least. The market bounces around on an almost daily basis and the price per thousand standard cubic foot of gas seems to steadily increase. Coupled with generally milder temperatures in many regions of the United States and the huge gas volumes that change hands daily, it becomes ever more critical that natural gas is measured with greater accuracy and a witness to the testing procedure is one more positive step toward that end.
