API MPMS 14.13, 1st Edition, October 2022 - Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards Chapter 14.13 Simplified Metering System Design and Performance-based Methodology for Non-custody Gas Measurement

This document, for single-phase gas measurement, provides guidance in the following areas to allow the user to achieve a targeted uncertainty of measurement:

— selection of flow meter type: differential pressure, displacement, ultrasonic, Coriolis, vortex, turbine, thermal, and others;

— associated instrumentation for measuring fluid properties and flowing conditions, such as pressure and temperature transmitters, densitometers, gas chromatographs;

— obtaining and use of gas composition or other analytical data;

— design and installation requirements of the measurement system;

— inspection, verification, and calibration practices of flow meters and their associated accessory instrumentation;

— simplified uncertainty calculations with examples to illustrate the methodology.
