Metering research facility program: Investigation of transient flow effects on electronic flow measurement. Task 1. Topical report, March 1992-August 1993

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6780798
Electronic Flow Measurement (EFM) devices are being installed by the natural gas industry to provide real time gas accounting and improved flow measurement accuracy. Guidelines, standards, and accuracy of EFM devices for use in steady flow have been developed by users and manufacturers. However, the effects of transient flow conditions on EFM systems are not known. The purpose of Task 1 is to document the transient conditions at typical gas production orifice meter sites and to quantify the resulting effects on EFM performance.
