Test Benches for Calibrating Custody Transfer Gas Meter
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Several transmission and distribution companies in Western Europe operate test facilities for testing industrial meters like larger diaphragm gas meters, rotary gas meters and turbine gas meters. Alternatively, they lease mobile provers. Those installations are not suitable to perform the initial calibration (and try to save money on the calibration costs), but are suitable to perform all kind of tests in order to improve the integral quality of their metering system and to optimise the operations by means of advanced (statistical oriented) maintenance programs.

Fundamentals of Multipath Ultrasonic Flow Meters for Gas Measurement
This paper outlines the operating principles and application of ultrasonic gas flow metering for custody transfer. Basic principles and underlying equations are discussed, as are considerations for applying ultrasonic flow meter technology to station design, installation, and operation. These applications are illustrated based on operating experience with the SICK ultrasonic flow meter, however...
متن کاملUncertainty and Traceability for the CEESI Iowa Natural Gas Facility
This paper analyzes the uncertainty of a secondary flow measurement facility that calibrates a significant fraction of United States and foreign flow meters used for custody transfer of natural gas. The facility, owned by the Colorado Experimental Engineering Station Incorporated (CEESI), is located in Iowa. This facility measures flow with nine turbine meter standards, each of which is traceab...

متن کاملA Comparison of Liquid Petroleum Meters for Custody Transfer Measurement
Petroleum products bought and sold on the world wide market may be transported over thousands of miles and change ownership many times from the well head to the end user. Each time the product changes ownership, a “custody transfer” is completed and both buyer and seller expect their asset share to be accurately measured. The dynamic measurement provided by meters is a convenient and accurate m...
متن کاملAn 8-path Ultrasonic Master Meter for Oil Custody Transfers
This paper describes an 8-path ultrasonic flow meter, with emphasis on how this meter can be used as a master meter with traceability to appropriate standards. In particular the paper describes the methodology whereby transit time measurements and calibration factors can be established in factory and laboratory tests and then verified in the field. Simulations of distorted and swirling flows, a...
