Abstract: To fully appreciate the importance of proper meter proving techniques, you must understand the impact that proving has on the bottom line of your company. Metering systems are the Cash Registers of your operation. Inaccuracies introduced through incorrect meter proving factors can cost you short term, by giving a customer credit for pumping volumes not actually received into your system. Long term costs result from not giving the customer credit for all the volumes received into your system and thus losing that customer. At the end of each accounting period it is preferable to conclude with a ZERO balance on the products measured into and out of your system. If not zero, then you must fall between an acceptable range of parameters to ensure fairness to the customer and continued profability for yourselves. That puts the burden for accuracy, square on the shoulders of those that maintain and calibrate the measurement equipment.
