Dry Calibration Of Ultrasonic Gas Flow Meters
Author(s): G. De Boer, J. Lansing
Abstract/Introduction:
At present in most European countries it is customary that turbine meters, or the newer ultrasonic gas flow meters, when used in fiscal metering or custody transfer metering applications, are calibrated in a test facility by comparison to standards or reference devices.

Recent Developments In The Uncertainty Analysis Of Flow Measurement Processes
Author(s): Jos G. m. Van Der Grinten
Abstract/Introduction:
For the evaluation of uncertainties in flow measurement two different documents are used at present. These are the Guide to the expression of uncertainty in measurement 1 and ISO 5168 2. The Guide represents the present state of the art of uncertainty analysis. ISO 5168 is much older, is still under revision 3 and is familiar to most people in the flow community.

Experiences With Ultrasonic Meters At The Gasunie Export Stations
Author(s): Gert Sloet, Gerrit De Nobel
Abstract/Introduction:
Gasunie has equipped a number of its export metering stations with ultrasonic gas flow meters. These ultrasonic flow meters are used as backup meters for the primary meters, which are turbine meters. On-line comparison results with these ultrasonic flow meters and the turbine meters are assessed. Given the results it is concluded that this new type of meter gives good results in the areas of availability and spread of results.

On Line- Quality Control Of Ultrasonic Gas Flow Meters
Author(s): R. Sakariassen
Abstract/Introduction:
An ultrasonic gas flow meter (USM) offers a great deal of information about the perfonnance of the meter and the conditions in the gas flow. Some of the information is used by the computer of the meter itself to perform self diagnostics while other part of the available information is not yet fully utilised.

Gas Well Flowline Measurement By Ultrasonic Flow Meter
Author(s): J. B. Agricola
Abstract/Introduction:
In Underground Gas Storage plants the gas in the well flowlines flows bidirectional: from the well in production mode to the well in injection mode. Ultrasonic flow meters (UFM), bidirectional from origin, were therefore considered for this application.

Testing Of Noise Suppression System For Multipath Ultrasonic Gas Flow Meters
Author(s): Bard Dybwad Kristensen, Cecilie Lofsei
Abstract/Introduction:
The use of ultrasonic meters for custody transfer metering is gaining acceptance within the oil companies as well as by the authorities. There is an ongoing effort to improve these meters to make them a competitive alternative to orifice plates and gas turbine meters. Operational experience has shown that ultrasonic meters are sensitive to noise generated by flow control valves. KOS has, in cooperation with CMR, developed an ultrasonic noise suppression system.

Liquid Correction Of Venturi Meter Readings In Wet Gas Flow
Author(s): Rick De Leeuw
Abstract/Introduction:
Venturi flow meters can be used to measure the actual gas flow rate in wet gas streams, provided the liquid content is known. An empirical correlation is presented which accurately predicts the effect of the liquid phase on venturi meter readings in wet gas horizontal flow.

Evaluation Of On-Line Chromatograph Performance
Author(s): Christopher J. Cowper, Richard P. Mounce
Abstract/Introduction:
Gas Chromatography (GC) is very widely used for analysis of natural gas, with the most frequent use for the analytical data being the calculation of properties of the gas. Just as the composition data are used to calculate properties, so the uncertainty values associated with the composition data allow calculation of the uncertainty associated with the property.

Mfi Watercut Meter - A Fiscal Meter
Author(s): Styrk Nordborg, Tone Kristin Borslid
Abstract/Introduction:
Two MFI WaterCut Meters have since January 1996 been under testing at the Tordis oil metering station at Statoils Gullfaks C platform. As a result of these test the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD) has given temporarily approval for fiscal use on Tordis throughout 1997.

Wet Gas Sampling
Author(s): Thomas F. Welker
Abstract/Introduction:
The quality of gas has changed drastically in the past few years. Most gas is wet with hydrocarbons, water, and heavier contaminants that tend to condense if not handled properly. If a gas stream is contaminated with condensables, the sampling of that stream must be done in a manner that will ensure all of the components in the stream are introduced into the sample container as the composite.
