Witnessing Orifice Meter Verification/Calibrations

摘要

Since the inception of custody transfer of natural gas there has been a need for the witnessing of orifice meter verifications and/or calibrations. Witnessing these verifications are traditional requirements found in most, if not all, gas transaction contracts. Witnessing a purchaser's technicians test and verification process of measurement equipment is vital and should be deemed as high priority to both the purchaser and the seller. Witnessing requirements can also exceed a purchasing agreement and can be federally mandated or deemed as necessary by a state in which the custody transfer occurs, so please adhere to your company standards as well as the state and federal requirements that may present themselves in a witnessing situation.
