SPS-8 Specification of Orifice Meter Runs
1.0 SCOPE.
This specification is intended to define the minimum requirements for the design and
fabrication of orifice meter runs for Arab Gas Pipeline project Phase 1.
3.2 To meet site requirements and ISO 5167 the upstream straight length of pipe work
shall be 32 D long and the minimum downstream straight length of pipe work shall
be 7 D long.
(D = mean the bore diameter of the pipe).
3.4 Static pressure shall be measured in the plane of the upstream pressure tapping.
3.5 The orifice fitting shall be supplied from the manufacturer of the orifice plate holder
with 10 D of upstream pipe attached to ISO 5167 requirements and 7 D of
downstream pipe attached to ISO 5167 requirements.
The free end of the upstream length must be finished for welding a further upstream
length to it. The downstream straight length must be finished with a welding neck,
raised face, flange.
3.6 To complete the straight length requirement of 32D upstream, a loose meter tube
with a minimum length of 22D shall be provided and shall be clearly marked with
flow direction and referenced meter run.
3.7 The circularity and uniformity of bore of the orifice meter’s straight length shall be
according to ISO 5167.

SPS-8 Specification of Orifice Meter Runs
3.8 The orifice fitting shall be the Daniel Senior (or equivalent) Welding Neck type, with
flange tapping with isolation valves welded to the fitting nozzles (as specified within
Schedule L). Actual pipe bore, measured in accordance with ISO 5167, shall be
stamped on the orifice carrier body. All tube fittings shall be SS Swage lock or
equivalent.
3.9 Each orifice fitting shall be supplied with two orifice plates for each beta ratio. The
bores shall be for beta = 0.3, 0.4, 0.5 and 0.6.
Each plate shall be separately packed and supplied with a certified measuring report
as evidence that Contractor shall prepare calculations for each orifice bore.
3.10 The sizing of the meter runs shall be such that the maximum flow rate for the
location can be accommodated with an orifice beta ratio no larger than 0.55 and a
high range differential pressure transmitter with a range of 500 mbar.
3.11. Meter runs shall be supplied from a single manufacturer. The unit shall be certified
and a copy of the certification submitted to COMPANY.
3.12 A permanently attached SS tag, listing manufacturer’s name and address, the unit’s
model number and serial number shall identify meter runs.
3.13 Overall accuracy of flow measurement per meter run shall be better than plus or
minus 1 % of the flow rate.
