Benefits of Committee Membership

Members are involved in the development of natural gas industry measurement standards and disseminate information that will promote efficient installation, operation, testing and maintenance of transmission gas measurement devices. Members also learn how other companies have dealt effectively with problems similar to their own.

Products and Services

This committee has several projects at hand that include – a new report on calculation of speed of sound in natural gas; technical notes on coriolis meter and orifice meter error assessment, measurement audit and meter station design; and revisions to gas measurement manuals and reports on ultrasonic meters, turbine meters and sonic nozzle prover. They have already revised a report on natural gas contract measurement and quality clauses and odorization manual. In collaboration with API, they have revised AGA report No. 3, Part 2, on orifice metering and have issued a technical note on use of high differential pressure in orifice metering. Revision to other parts of AGA Report No. 3 is under active consideration.
