Annotation of standard text API MPMS 5.1-ed.4 :

API MPMS 5.1, 4th Edition, December 2022 - Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards Chapter 5—Metering Section 1—General Considerations for Measurement by Meters

API MPMS Chapter 5 is intended to be a guide for the proper specification, installation, and operation of meter runs designed to dynamically measure liquid hydrocarbons so that acceptable accuracy, service life, safety, reliability, and quality control can be achieved. API MPMS Chapter 5 also includes information that will assist in troubleshooting and improving the performance of meters.

FIELD OF APPLICATION

The field of application of API MPMS Chapter 5 is the measurement of liquid hydrocarbons and chemicals by meter, at the temperature and pressure conditions that prevail inside a meter during flowing conditions. API MPMS Chapter 5 is also concerned with the metering of hydrocarbons that can, by heating, cooling, and/or compressing, be made and kept liquid by maintaining the proper temperature and pressure.

The chapter does not apply to the metering of two-phase fluids.
