This "White Paper" provides information on multiphase flow metering systems gleaned from more than 150 published documents that are in the public domain. The documentation was prepared from information obtained through mid-2002. No additional research has been funded in the development of this report. It should be noted that the indicated performances data stated in these published documents have not necessarily been verified by an independent body. The listing of these references in the Appendix 2 is intended to provide a comprehensive source of data and information on multiphase metering; the reader needs to carefully review the source of the data in the documents when utilizing the information.
This recommended practice covers the instrumentation and metering (I&M) of industrial and commercial power systems. It describes the importance of metering to achieve a successful energy management process as well as considerations that must be made when applying the latest metering technology.
