Meter Tubes & Meter Runs

The piping around a flow meter matters as much as the meter itself — so we build both, as one documented assembly.

Plate No. 4 — The Orifice Meter Tube Energy Flow Systems, Houston

Piping arrangements with elbows and valves disturb flow for many diameters up- and downstream of a flow meter; internal roundness and surface roughness matter too. Energy Flow offers complete design and fabrication of precision orifice and nozzle meter tubes in a wide variety of configurations, all designed to meet or exceed AGA and ASME recommendations.

Seamless tubing and select A106 Grade B seamless pipe meeting AGA Gas Measurement Committee Report No. 3 tolerances are standard, with stainless and special alloys available. As a code shop, fabrication uses highly skilled code welders and automatic welding equipment with rotating positioners.

Rigid inspection is maintained on every tube — micrometer readings are recorded and supplied on request, and hydrostatic testing and weld X-raying are available. Our engineering department will determine the meter tube size and beta ratio from your flow media and conditions.

Where It Serves
  • Custody transfer and gas measurement
  • Pipeline and plant metering stations
  • Complete upstream/downstream assemblies with straightening vanes
