10、pter 14, Section 3, Part 4 of the Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards describes the background and development of the equation for the coefficient of discharge of flange-tapped square-edged concentric orifice meters and recommends a flow rate calcu- lation procedure. The recommended procedures

11、 provide consistent computational results for the quantification of fluid flow under defined conditions, regardless of the point of origin or destination, or the units of measure required by governmental customs or statute. The procedures allow different users with different computer languages on di

12、fferent computing hardware to arrive at almost identical results using the same standardized input data. This standard has been developed through the cooperative efforts of many individuals under the sponsorship of the American Petroleum Institute, API, and the American Gas Association, A.G.A., with

13、 contributions from the Gas Processors Association, GPA, and others. API publications may be used by anyone desiring to do so.

40、ory and Development 4.2.1 BACKGROUND In May 1924, the Board of Directors of the Natural Gas Association (this later became the Natural Gas Department of the American Gas Association) directed its Main Technical and Research Committee to establish a new subcommittee to be known as the Gas Meas- ureme

41、nt Committee. The duties of this new committee were outlined by the directors as: Determine the correct methods of installing orifice meters for measuring natural gas. Determine the necessary corrective factors and operative requirements in the use of orifice meters, using natural gas in all experim

42、ental work. Secure the cooperation and assistance of the National Bureau of Standards2 and the United States Bureau of Mines3, and secure, if possible, the assignment of members of their staffs to the Gas Measurement Committee to assist in this work. The Gas Measurement Committee held ifs first meef

43、ing in November 1924 and discussed various features of the work assigned to it. Beginning in the summer of 1925, and extending over a period of six years, this committee conducted several research projects on orifice meters. The Gas Measurement Committee published a preliminary report in 1927, which

44、 was revised in 1929, and Report No. 1 was issued in 1930. In the introduction to Report No. 1, the following statement was made: This is not a final report, but it is made with the understanding that the committee will con- tinue its analytical studies of the data already developed, The committee a

45、lso fully expects that it will be necessary for it to conduct further work of its own. This will make necessary one or more supplemental reports, in which the data will be summarized and the mathemat- ical principles announced, which are thebasis for the present report, and such modifications and ex

46、tensions will be made as additional data and further study may require.“ rn September 193 1, this committee joined with the Special Research Committee of Fluid Meters of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers4 in the formation of a Joint Com- mittee on Orifice Meters so that future publication

47、s on orifice meters by these two parent committees might be in harmony. This joint committee found that a few additional research projects on orifice meters, especially for the determination of the absolute values of orifice coefficients, were needed. Thereafter, the committee formally requested rep

48、resentatives of the National Bureau of Standards to review the data obtained in these later research projects and report their findings to the committee. Gas Measurement Committee Report No. 2 was published on May 6, 1935 and was intended to supplement Report No. 1. Within certain limits explained i

49、n that report, any orifice meter installed in accordance with the recommendations in Report No. 1 would American Gas Association, 1515 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, Virginia 22209.
