Pressure drop performance in gas custody transfer through domestic gas meter operations

Ranked 12th in the world for its natural gas reserves, standing with 82.5 trillion metric standard cubic feet, Malaysia, has certainly emerged as a major exporter and gas user globally. It was only lately in December 1984 that Petronas Gas Bhd. (PGB) started a pilot project to supply piped in natura...
