Title: Flow Circulating Facility

Abstract: The design and preliminary operation of a closed-loop test facility is discussed and illustrated. The facility was designed to provide a means of testing gas measurement equipment over a wide range of flows and pressures. The system utilizes a centrifugal compressor as the flow generator in a closed system that can be pressurized from an external source up to pressures of 1000 pounds per square inch gauge (psig). The compressor produces flows of 51,600 cubic feet per hour (cfh) at line conditions. Flow control is effected by control valves on a compressor bypass and in the test sections. Preliminary performance of the system appears good, using a turbine meter and a water calibrated oritice meter in calibration tests. Development of suitable measurement standards is in progress. The system can be utilized to test gas measurement and control equipment at pipeline conditions.
