HM 26: A guide to liquid metering systems
This publication covers the specification, design, installation and operation of metering stations for high accuracy measurement of the bulk flow of liquids in pipelines and process plants. It does not address batch metering systems such as loading racks. This revision is an update to incorporate new technology and the latest standards.
The types of metering system described in this publication are intended primarily for the measurement of petroleum for the purposes of sales, taxation or product allocation in multi-user pipelines; dependent on usage these can generally all be termed custody transfer. In this publication, such systems will be referred to as fiscal metering systems, implying systems with a standard of uncertainty that is the highest that can reasonably be obtained in a practical industrial environment, bearing in mind the balance between cost and uncertainty.
