API - MPMS 6.1A

Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards Chapter 6.1A - Metering Assemblies—General Considerations

active, Most Current
Organization: API
Publication Date: 1 July 2021
Status: active
Page Count: 27
scope:

This standard is part of a set of documents that detail the minimum requirements for metering systems in single phase liquid applications; API MPMS Chapter 6.1A is common to all sections of API MPMS Chapter 6 and specifies the common requirements for system criteria.

In the event of a conflict between this and API MPMS Chapter 6 sections that are not in the 6.XA series, API MPMS Chapter 6.1A shall take precedence.
