Abstract
The paper talks about the technology, theory and application of transducers to flow measurement sensors used for royalty and custody transfer measurements of crude and hydrocarbon products. It highlights the operations, current research, field test studies and viability of such devices for better precision and higher accuracy in the measurement of volumetric through puts for exports and domestic consumption. Through finer precision and higher accuracy, proper accountability can be achieved and tremendous cost savings realized.
