Description
Coriolis flowmeters were tested under laboratory conditions to determine the effects of piping and equipment configurations, vibration, density, temperature, and pressure. The data was used to support or refute claims that these meters are insensitive to installation effects and to define the range of operation. This project also will analyze new field tests data received by the task group. The data was added to the meter repeatability data bank.
Latest progress update
Laboratory data was gathered and a report was issued. The report was discussed at the 2000 API Production Measurement meetings. The standard was balloted and released for sale.
