Gas Metering Stations

 

 

Gas Metering StationsMetering stations are placed periodically along interstate natural gas pipelines. These stations allow pipeline and local distribution companies to monitor, manage, and account for the natural gas in their pipes. Essentially, these metering stations measure the flow of gas along the pipeline, allowing pipeline companies to track natural gas as it flows along the pipeline.

Metering stations employ specialized meters to measure the natural gas as it flows through the pipeline without impeding its movement. In essence, the metering station is the company’s “cash

 
register.” Figure 1.2-4 shows a typical meter station.

Meter/regulator stations are generally constructed adjacent to the cleared pipeline right-of-way (ROW) at each of the receipt and interconnect points to meter the flow and adjust the pressure of natural gas received from or delivered to those systems. A meter/regulator station typically includes meter and regulator equipment, a filter separator, odorant equipment, and a control building housed within a fenced perimeter.
