Copyright 0 2000 American Gas Association, Ali Rights Reserved iii Copyright American Gas Association Provided by IHS under license with AGANot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-PREFACE This publication represents a basic standard for safe
18、operation and substantial and durable construction for diaphragm-type gas displacement meters having a gas flow rating of under 500 cubic feet per hour (14.16m3/h) at 0.5 inch water column (125 Pa) differential pressure at standard conditions. This work is the result of years of experience, suppleme
19、nted by extensive research. The standard is designed to help ensure efficient performance and substantial construction of equipment. It is recognized that during any transition period to the metric system, sizes and dimensions need to be expressed in either the metric system or the inch-pound system
20、 or in both. In this document, both systems are used, with the inch-pound units given preference. In most cases, a soft conversion from existing inch-pound values is shown. Soft conversion implies a change in nomenclature only; in this document, the alternative nomenclatures (metric and inch-pound)
21、are shown by using parentheses and can be used interchangeably. Hard conversion is used to express metric values in (closely equivalent) round inch-pound units. Bracketed values are not to be used interchangeably with the corresponding metric values. Nothing in this standard is to be considered as i
22、n any way indicating a measure of quality beyond compliance with the provisions it contains. It is designed to allow the construction and performance of displacement meters that may exceed the various provisions specified in any respect. In its preparation, recognition was intended to be given to th
23、e possibility of improvement through ingenuity of design. As progress takes place, revisions may become necessary. When they are believed desirable, recommendations should be forwarded to the Chairman of ANSI B 109 Committee, Operating and Engineering Section, American Gas Association, 400 North Cap
24、itol Street, NW, 4h Floor, Washington, DC 20001, U.S.A. Users of this document should consult applicable federal, state and local regulations. The American Gas Association (AGA) does not, by the publication of this document, intend to present specifications that are not in compliance with applicable
25、 rules, and this document may not be construed as doing so. NOTICE: “tis American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at any time. The procedures of the American National Standards Institute, Inc. (ANSI) require that action be taken to reaffirm, revise or withdraw this standard no later th
26、an five years from the date of publication. When any revisions are deemed advisable, recommendations should be forwarded to the American Gas Association. A form is included for that purpose at the end of this standard. Purchasers of American National Standards may receive current information on ail

29、icense from IHS-,-,-STD = AGA 2000 HISTORY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF STANDARDS FOR DIAPHRAGM-TYPE GAS DISPLACEMENT METERS In response to an expressed need within the industry for standardization of diaphragm-type gas displacement meters, the Amencan Gas Association late in 1966 requested the establishme
30、nt of a project within the American National Standards Institute for development of suitable standards for such meters. At a General Conference held on January 31, 1967, at ANSI headquarters, approval of the project scope was obtained, which was subsequently endorsed by the Mechanical Standards Boar
31、d of ANSI. The organizational meeting of ANSI Committee E109 was held on November 30, 1967. at which time five subcommittees were established to develop various sections of the standard. The first draft standard was issued in June 1970 for review and comment. This was followed by three additional dr
32、afts, each incorporating modifications made in the light of comments received. To ensure that the standard as published would have wide acceptance, the fourth draft was distributed on an industry-wide basis and to all known interested pariies. Comments received on the fourth draft were reviewed by t
33、he various subcommittees and indicated revisions were made in two additional drafts. Draft Six was reviewed by Committee 9109 at its May 4, 1973, meeting and the standard approved for submittal to ANSI for endorsement as an American National Standard. Throughout all stages of development of this sta
34、ndard, consideration has been given to the work done by the Task Committee on Standardization of Meter Purchase Specifications of the Operating Section of the American Gas Association as published in Gas Meter Specifications (OP-58-2,1963). The first edition of the diaphragm-type gas displacement me
35、ter standard (Bl9.1) was endorsed as an ANSI standard by the American National Standards Institute, Inc., on November 27, 1973. An addendum (Bl9.la) was published in 1980. Separate standards were also published in 1980 for larger gas displacement meters (500 cubic feet per hour capacity and overbBl9
36、.2 and for rotary type gas displacement meters-B109.3. In the second edition, auxiliary devices relating only to larger capacity meters were deleted from this standard and added to other appropriate standards. Soft metric conversions and informative appendices on prover bell calibration and bar codi
37、ng were added to this standard. The second edition was approved by ANSI on January 9, 1987. In the third edition, minor editorial changes and a title correction were made. The third edition was approved by ANSI on November 12,1992. This is the fourth edition of standard B109.1, in which several addi
38、tionsldeletions have been made to avoid any ambiguity, to make it more consistent and to improve upon some requirements. Substantive changes have been shown by a bar I I in the margin.
