METERING STANDARDS - MODULE T05

1.0

AUTHORITIES A number of organisations have published standards, or guidelines, which are applicable to metering. The standards referred to in this section apply to measurement accuracy, or have an influence on the measured system, therefore only minimal reference to design standards is made. The relevant organisations are summarised below :

1.1.

DEPARTMENT OF TRADE AND INDUSTRY (OIL AND GAS OFFICE)

The Institute of Petroleum maintains a 18 part “Manual of Petroleum Measurement” and 11 of “Petroleum Measurement Papers”. Reference to the manual is made in the following format, “IP part** section **” where “**” will be the numerical reference. The Institute of Petroleum also maintains a “Model Code of Safe Practice in the Petroleum Industry.

1.3.

AMERICAN PETROLEUM INSTITUTE

Abbrev : API Website : www.api.org The American Petroleum Institute maintains a 21 chapter “Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards”.
