Fiscal Metering System Design - Some Design Evaluations With Respect To Lifecycle Cost/benefit

This document discusses design evaluations for a fiscal metering system with respect to lifecycle cost and benefit. It analyzes design categories including conventional liquid metering stations, stations with master meters, and multi-phase metering. Configuration options like serial, parallel and Z-configurations are also evaluated. Key criteria for evaluation are price and delivery time, accuracy, functionality, and reliability/maintenance cost. Different flow measurement technologies for liquid and gas are then analyzed based on these criteria.
