We consider that modern metering systems are best considered as information providing systems which can use a
variety of equipment to provide the required information. We use the following diagram to illustrate our approach

We consider it is especially relevant for the project in question:-
- The top part of the diagram deals with the system requirements, regulatory, contractual, safety, environmental
etc., defining what the system must do.
- The middle part deals with the information flow from the sensors in the field, through data processing in the
field and in offices, through to final reporting.
- The bottom part deals with the specific equipment at each stage in the information processing. In a large
system, such as any pipeline system which has developed over many years and a variety of equipment may be
used to achieve the functionality.
