Much natural gas measurement falls under the category of custody transfer, where inaccurate metering could mean financial disaster (or windfall) for one of the parties. Modern vortex flowmeters eliminate the inaccuracies of DP/orifice plate installations and provide the added security of reduced fugitive emissions. What follows are seven reasons why you should consider vortex flow measurement technology for custody transfer or any other measurement of natural gas. Vortex flowmeters offer higher accuracy; vortex flowmeters have no density/viscosity distortion; vortex flowmeters feature low installation costs; vortex flowmeters mean low cost of ownership; vortex flowmeters reduce pressure drop; vortex flowmeters allow accurate billing; nd vortex flowmeters have fewer fugitive emission sources.
