Metering Research Facility Program: Pressure and calibration effects on 12-inch gas turbine flow meters. Technical memorandum, June 1995-February 1996

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:445826

The testing of 12-inch turbine meters in the MRF-HPL was intended to obtain independent data on how well commonly used turbine meters perform when calibrated and used on natural gas at typical pipeline operating pressures. The effects of different pressures, Reynolds numbers, and apparent drag were investigated. In accordance with the objectives, these tests have verified that the in-service repeatability and reproducibility of three typical 12-inch turbine meter, when used with high pressure natural gas, are better than the industry standard accuracy (plus or minus 1.0%).
