Abstract: Located in Erie, Pennsylvania, FMC Technologies Flow Research and Test Center recently performed a bi lateral comparison test with Compaia Logistica de Hidrocarburos CLH, S.A. of Spain using liquid hydrocarbon products. The comparison test was based on an 8 inch (203 mm) Smith Meter Sentry conventional turbine meter with flow conditioner in series with a Smith Meter Ultra 8c 8 - path liquid ultrasonic meter located upstream. The intention of the ultrasonic meter was to use its advanced diagnostic capabilities to provide a window into the flow stream and perform flow profile analysis. Installation effect s can have a profound influence on the performance of turbine and ultrasonic flow meters due to changes in flow profile between two different systems. The following technical paper discusses the testing approach and results, investigating the effects of th e flow profile characteristics on the turbine meter performance as observed at both facilities
