(OP)
Can any one tell me what is vapour binding as it relates to hydrocarbon streams and errors in differential pressure flow measurement?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Vapor lock occurs when the weight of all liquid column(s) being lifted or pushed along a tube by a vapor column(s) + downstream pressure become(s) equal to the weight of the vapor column(s) + upstream pressure.

Although there may be more definitions of vapor lock, a common one I remember is the partial or complete interruption of flow of fuel in a gasoline engine caused by formation of vapor or gas bubbles on the fuel-feeding system.
