| Description |
Coriolis
flowmeters were tested under laboratory conditions to determine the effects
of piping and equipment configurations, vibration, density, temperature, and
pressure. The data was used to support or refute claims that these meters
are insensitive to installation effects and to define the range of
operation. This project also will analyze new field tests data received by
the task group. The data was added to the meter repeatability data bank. |
| Progress |
Laboratory data was
gathered and a report was issued. The report was discussed at the 2000 API
Production Measurement meetings. The standard was balloted and released for
sale. |
