The use of Liquid Ultrasonic Meters for liquid petroleum applications such as custody transfer or allocation
measurement is gaining world wide acceptance by the Oil Industry. Ultrasonic technology is well established but
the use of this technology for custody transfer and allocation measurement is relatively new. Often users try to
employ the same measurement practices that apply to turbine technology to the Liquid Ultrasonic. There are some
similarities such as: the need for flow conditioning, upstream and downstream piping requirements but there can
also be differences such as the proving technique. This paper will discuss the basics of liquid ultrasonic meter
operation and performance. While proving liquid ultrasonic meters is not specifically discussed, diagnostic
information available to troubleshoot meter performance in general will be presented.

Education
The Largest Gas Measurement School In The United States Is Devoted To Providing You The Most Cutting Edge Resources.
About us
Located in the
Energy capital of the world (Houston, TX)
The School is the largest gas measurement school in the United States that is devoted to natural gas measurement, pressure regulation, flow control, and other measurement related arenas.
It is divided into seven main subject groups:
Since 1966, the School has been held annually during the month of September in Houston, Texas, the energy capital of the world.
experience
great experience Annual On-site Training
The School affords an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas and information associated with flow measurement. More importantly, the School provides valuable information on new advances in product development and also theory of operation. Not only does the student receive training from an analytical viewpoint but also has the opportunity to obtain hands-on experience with various products.

This document will provide the reader an understanding of what a prover is, the need for proving meters for accurate
measurement uncertainty verification, the equipment deemed acceptable and available for use in the oil and liquefied gas
market. It will also define the general terminology used in the industry, general operational aspects for verification devices,
and general information utilized by the groups and agencies that govern the meter verification process.

In today’s charging world of technology there have been may changes in controls that now allow to truly
compare a plug and seat regulator to a control valve for high-pressure natural gas installations such as: power
plants, city gate stations, large industrial customers, compressor stations, and storage fields. The features,
benefits, capabilities, and differences of both devices will be outlined, to enable the reader to make an educated
selection. In addition, acceptable design practices will be reviewed concerning sizing, gas velocities, noise levels,
equipment layout, and performance. The ball valve is the most commonly used type of modulating valve for
natural gas pipeline control applications, for that reason, we will limit this discussion to comparison between the
plug and seat regulator and versions of a 1/4 turn ball valve.
