downstream piping. The thickness and type of insulation used is to be determined by the
customer for the ambient conditions. For accurate flow meter operation the liquefied natural
gas fluid flowing within the meter must be liquid without any gas pockets or bubbles. The
insulation installed must be adequate to insure bubble free liquid flow is achieved at all flow
rates and ambient conditions.
