Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-002331

An instrument that measures and records the volume or flow rate of fluids, such as oil, gas, or water, produced from a well or flowing through a pipeline. These devices provide continuous or periodic data for production allocation, reservoir monitoring, and fiscal accounting. Types range from simple positive displacement meters for single-phase liquids to complex multiphase flow meters that measure individual fluid streams without upstream separation, with accuracy specified by standards like the API Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards.
