UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENT STANDARDS THAT GOVERN MEASUREMENT AN OVERVIEW OF THE DIFFERENT STANDARDS THAT GOVERN MEASUREMENT No national standards for measurement were accepted until the early 1930’s. The use of installation and volumetric calculation procedures required an individual contract agreement for each custody transfer delivery. The founders of the American Gas Association (AGA) commissioned research by the United States National Bureau Standards (NBS) to develop data that would lead to their…

ULTRASONIC METER FLOW CALIBRATIONS CONSIDERATIONS AND BENIFITS The primary method for custody transfer measurement has traditionally been orifice metering. While this method has been a good form of measurement, technology has driven the demand for a new, more effective form of fiscal measurement. Ultrasonic flowmeters have gained popularity in recent years and have become the standard for large volume custody transfer applications…
