Abstract: This paper presents findings on mass transfer-relat ed fluid properties errors that can occur during multiphase flow meter factory acce ptance testing (FAT). A dynamic FAT determines the optimum performance of a n MPFM before service in the field. Substantial uncertainties in this proces s can result in poor device qualification that consequently impacts their quali ty in the field. Two multiphase flow facility configurations, live h ydrocarbon fluids and controlled (inert) fluids, have been assessed using the PPDS t hermophysical properties software package. A test programme was constructed to determine fluid properties errors that occur due to component mass transfer between the gas and liquid hydrocarbon phases, thus causing a differenc e in measured fluid volumes between the reference measurement section and the l ocation of the device under test
