## Description

You can now handle complex gas station design directly through your AI client. This MCP follows AGA standards, specifically Report No. 3, 7, and 9, to ensure your designs meet industry requirements for accuracy and stability. Instead of manually checking tables for pipe lengths or meter types, you can ask your agent to run the math for you. It handles the heavy lifting of determining how much straight pipe you need to avoid turbulence and which meter technology fits your specific flow and pressure constraints. Once the math is done, the MCP helps you map out the physical station configuration, including where to place pressure and temperature measurement points. It also helps you stay compliant by defining the exact calibration steps needed to keep your equipment accurate over time. It's a specialized engineering toolkit that turns your AI into a technical design partner.

## Tools

### design_station_configuration
This tool generates a complete station layout specification. It includes the necessary placement for pressure and temperature measurement points.

### calculate_meter_run_length
Use this to find the required length of straight piping. It ensures you have enough distance for stable flow before and after the meter.

### determine_calibration_protocol
This tool specifies the exact verification and calibration steps you need to follow. It helps you maintain your target accuracy levels.

### select_meter_technology
This tool picks the right meter type for your project. It evaluates physical constraints and accuracy requirements to find the best fit.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What meter should I use for a flow rate of 500-1500 m3/h with high accuracy requirements?
```

**Response:** 
```
An Ultrasonic meter is recommended for high accuracy within that flow range.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the meter run length for an Orifice meter with a 6-inch pipe and no flow conditioner.
```

**Response:** 
```
For a 6-inch pipe using an Orifice meter without a flow conditioner, you need 20 diameters of upstream length and 5 diameters of downstream length.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Design a station configuration for an Ultrasonic meter operating at 50 bar and 40 degrees Celsius.
```

**Response:** 
```
The station configuration includes specific placement for pressure and temperature transmitters to ensure accurate gas density calculations at 50 bar and 40°C.
```

## Capabilities

### Standard Compliance
Your agent uses AGA Report No. 3, 7, and 9 standards to validate all designs.

### Flow Stability Math
The AI calculates the exact straight pipe lengths needed to prevent turbulence.

### Hardware Selection
Your agent identifies the best meter technology based on your flow and pressure data.

### Layout Planning
The MCP generates physical station layouts including measurement point locations.

### Precision Maintenance
The AI defines calibration protocols to keep your measurement accuracy on track.

## Use Cases

### New Station Design
Design a complete gas measurement station from scratch using AGA standards.

### Retrofitting Existing Lines
Calculate new run lengths when adding different meter technologies to existing pipes.

### Compliance Auditing
Verify that current station layouts and calibration steps meet AGA requirements.

### Flow Optimization
Determine the necessary upstream and downstream distances to ensure stable flow for a specific meter.

## Benefits
