Reduction The Impact Of Thermal Expansion Coefficient On The Crude Oil Quantity Calculation Using Coriolis Flow Meter
Author(s): Hamid.M Twaty
Abstract/Introduction:
The effect of volume corr ections factors on crude oil quantity determination is extremely important due to the loss or profit of the quantity. Volume correction factors that used on the quantity calculations are published by ASTM , these factors were derived from a set of samples in the world .and the samples have been supplied an d individual physically studied by NBS to show the behavior of crude oils and to determine the coefficient of thermal expansion (alpha) for each crude sample

Diagnostic Analysis Of Velocity Profile Using An 8-path Gas Ultrasonic Meter
Author(s): Dr Gregor Brown
Abstract/Introduction:
The original promise of gas USMs was that they would deliver the benefits of being non- intrusive and low maintenance ! However, with experience, use of flow conditioning has become very common ! There is an underlying assumption in the early multipath designs that each path supplies a measure of axial velocity

Evelopment Of A Microflow Primary Standard - Ipq Medd - Metrology For Drug Delivery
Abstract/Introduction:
With the development of science and nanotechnology, the measurement of fluid flow quantities is getting smaller, in the order of microliter per minute or even nanoliter per minute. ! In order to provide traceability to industry and laboratories, in such fields as health, biotechnology, engineering and physics, it was identified the need of developing primary standards for microflow measurement. ! In the scope of the EMRP project MeDD , a new standard for micro flow measurements was developed at the Portuguese Institute for Quality

The Reynolds Number Correction Of Liquid Ultrasonic Meters And Coriolis Meters
Author(s): Terry Cousins
Abstract/Introduction:
We have to remember that in Liquid Custody Transfer Measurement we are looking for 0.1%s This may be a claimed value. ! This may be an aspiration value. It may even be a believed value After 45 years I now know that it is a notional value. The slightest twitch in procedures, installation, design, change in fluid properties etc. will destroy that notion. It is therefore necessary to consider all the aspects of a meter that go into the final performance of a meter - this presentation considers one of them REYNOLDS NUMBER

3/29/2014 1 Fluid Flow Conditioning
Abstract/Introduction:
Why do we want to use flow conditioners then? Can eliminate up to 80 - 90% of pipeline swirl. Restore flow profile symmetry and eliminate distortions. Isolates the flow meter from upstream disturbances. Allows much shorter meter runs to be used with much higher repeatability. Improves the benefits of many USM diagnostics by providing flow stabilty. Helps with noise or pulsation problems. Helps balance the pressure, velocity and flow rate of meter tubes running in parallel. They UNLOAD the flow meter, helping it become even more accurate.
