Abstract: The ever-increasing use of gas turbine and rotary meters has created many problems in establishing suitable methods for field testing. The requirement for field testing is predetermined by the need, through contract or otherwise, to maintain and demonstrate accuracy in measurement. In attempting to establish suitable testing methods, efforts are made to obtain laboratory results under field conditions. At best this is a frustrating experience, although necessary. Field test and the laboratory calibrations will only approach each others results. The degree of difference can be attributed to many factors such as environmental conditions, instrumentation, duration of run, variations of flow stream, and difference in standards. The degree to which laboratory calibration and field tests agree depends on the extent to which the difference can be resolved. To expect more from the results than is physically obtainable is a study in frustration. To put it another way, to obtain a laboratory calibration in the field, it is necessary to provide for a laboratory calibration facility in the field.
