APPLICATION OF FLOW COMPUTERS FOR MEASUREMENT AND CONTROL The measurement of oil & gas production has progressed considerably since the days of paper charts and manual integration. While still in use today, the technology has moved increasingly to microprocessor based flow computers. Such devices allow for greater measurement accuracy, increased control functionality, and are readily integrated into a company’s enterprise computer networks.

FUNDAMENTALS OF ROTARY DISPLACEMENT METERS Natural gas measurement today is accomplished through the use of two different classifications of gas meters. The first consists of inferential type meters, including, orifice, ultra-sonic and turbine meters, and the second is the positive displacement meters, which consist of diaphragm and rotary displacement meters. The inferential type meters are so-called because rather than measuring…

FUNDAMENTALS OF PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES What Are They and Why Are They Needed What: A stand-alone device that opens and recloses at a pre-selected pressure, containing an orifice sized to flow a required capacity to prevent / avoid overpressure. Why: All natural gas equipment (pipelines, pressure vessels, air-cooled heat exchangers, compressor cylinders, odorant tanks, instrument control lines, valves, underground storage,…

FUNDAMENTALS OF PRESSURE REGULATORS In the gas industry, there are two basic types of regulators used for both pressure reducing and back pressure (relief) control. The two types are:  Self Operated Regulators (Sometimes referred to as spring loaded regulators)  Pilot Operated Regulators (Loading and Unloading style pilot regulators) This paper will discuss the basic principle of Self…
