This standard specifies the technical requirements for the design, construction, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of the metering system of newly-built natural gas trade metering stations. The gas quality of the transported natural gas should meet the requirements of the GB l7820 standard. This standard is applicable to trade metering systems of natural gas metering stations whose design passing capacity is equal to or greater than 500 m3/h (under standard reference conditions) and whose working pressure is not lower than 0.1 Mpa (gauge pressure). Annual delivery equal to or less than 300,000 m3 (under standard reference conditions) may not be included in the scope of this standard.
