b) Ensure that meters are turbine-type with pressure
and temperature compensation and have electronic/digital
readout capability.
c) Install meters, if required, in accordance with
requirements of API MPMS 5.
d) Provide pressure gauges of suitable range on all
tanks, on suction and discharge of pumps and compressors, on
inlet and outlet of vaporizers and on downstream of throttle
valves.
e) Provide thermometers on all tanks, in all
transfer lines for both liquid and gas, and on inlet and
outlet of vaporizers.
f) Provide strainers in compressor suctions,
upstream of meters and control valves.
g) Provide surge suppressors on liquid lines, if
required.
h) Provide knock-out drums or scrubbers of suitable
