The Key Components of Gas Measurement Skids

A Gas Meter Skid is a pre-packaged system used to measure and regulate the flow of gases in the hydrocarbon industry. The key components of a Gas Meter Skid typically include:

  1. Inlet and Outlet Connections are the entry and exit points for the gas to flow into and out of the skid.
  2. Filter/Separator removes contaminants and moisture from the gas, ensuring a clean flow.
  3. Flow Conditioner helps ensure the gas flow is uniform and laminar before it reaches the meter, which improves measurement accuracy.
  4. Flow Meters measure the amount of gas passing through the skid. Types of meters used can include:
    • Orifice Meters measure flow based on a drop in pressure across a plate.
    • Turbine Meters measure flow using a rotating turbine.
    • Ultrasonic Flow Meters measure flow based on the speed of sound waves through the gas.
  5. Flow Computers collect data from the flow meters and other sensors to compute the exact volume and properties of the gas.
  6. Pressure and Temperature Sensors provide necessary data for flow computations, as gas properties can change with variations in pressure and temperature.
  7. Control Valves are used to regulate the gas flow based on the measurement data.
  8. Custody Transfer System ensures accurate and standardized measurement.
  9. Safety devices include pressure relief valves, emergency shutdown devices and fire and gas detection systems.
  10. Telemetry and Communication Devices allow for remote monitoring and control of the skid.
  11. Calibration Equipment ensures that the flow meters and other measurement devices work accurately.
  12. Structural Frame holds all the components together, allowing for easy transport and installation.

Different gas metering skids might have variations in components based on their specific application and the requirements of the operation.
