This standard specifies the technical requirements in aspects of design, establishment, operation and maintenance of trade measuring system in constructed, reconstructed and extended natural gas measuring stations. The quality of natural gas transmitted shall meet the requirements of GB 17820.
This standard is applicable to the trade measuring system of natural gas measuring station with design through capacity no less than 100m3/h (under standard reference conditions) and operating pressure no less than 0.1MPa (gauge pressure).
This standard doesn't cover all safety concerns related to its application. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish corresponding safety and protection measures and determine the limited application scope prior to use.
