1 FMC Technologies Flow Research and Test Center Creating Resource Technology for Today and Tomorrow
2 FMC Technologies test center guarantees optimum verification of meter performance To ensure that a meter can operate accurately over a wide flow and viscosity range it is important that the meter is tested over the dynamic operating range. FMC Technologies comprehensive flow research and test facility located in Erie, Pennsylvania is capable of testing meters over the widest dynamic measurement range of any test facility in the world. PD meters, conventional turbine meters, helical turbine meters, and ultrasonic meters can be tested under dynamically similar operating conditions to guarantee performance in any crude oil application. NVLAP accredited to ISO/IEC 7025:2005 ISO 900:2008 Certified Quality Management System Flow to 42,000 bph (6,675 m /h) Viscosity 2 to 500 cst (mm 2 /s) Traceable to international standards Dynamic range 00 to,000,000 Reynolds Number Flow Reynolds Number = Size x Viscosity The key to FMC Technologies success has been its ability to provide the latest technology in products and services. This commitment to superiority in technology is demonstrated by its extensive research and development programs, experienced technicians, and modern test facilities.
3 Provers Description The FMC Technologies High Flow (HF), Multi-Viscosity (MV), and Low Flow - MV Test Systems can provide dynamic testing on petroleum products over a 5 to 42,000 bph ( to 6,680 m /h) flow range; 2 to 500 cst (2 to 500 mm 2 /s) viscosity range; meter sizes to 0 inches (25 to 750 mm). This translates to a dynamic Reynolds Number range of 00 to,000,000. The Meter Under Test (MUT) can be directly proven with the Master Prover or with Master Meter Prover(s), which are calibrated with the Master Prover. The Master Meter Provers are calibrated gravimetrically using NIST Class F weights. High Volume Master Meter Prover SYNCROTRAK SVP Master Prover Model Flow Max.

4 Gravimetric Calibration Facility for Small Volume Provers Description The FMC Gravimetric Calibration Facility is used to accurately establish the base volume of the master provers and to establish direct traceability to the National Institute of Technology (NIST), the US National Meteorology Institute. The provers are then used to calibrate the Master Meter Provers or to directly prove a meter. The room, environment, instruments and techniques have been selected to provide the highest level of accuracy. The calibration procedures are per API MPMS 4.9.

8 Unsurpassed Dynamic Test Range Validating a meter s accuracy over its operating range is an essential part in the manufacture of high performance custody transfer meters. The key parameters that determine the performance of flow meters and other hydrodynamic devices are size, flow rate, and viscosity. While these parameters affect the performance of all metering technologies, turbine and ultrasonic meters are especially sensitive to high viscosity fluids. To ensure performance of Smith Meter turbine and ultrasonic meters for crude oil service, these meters are tested dynamically over a range of fluids from 2 to 500 cst depending on the required service. This method uses the concept of Dynamic Similitude allowing the performance to be validated for service on a higher or lower viscosity than the test fluid. To do this, the testing method relies on a well established fluid dynamic parameter Reynolds Number (Re No), which (illustrated by the equation below) defines the relationship between the flow rate, meter size, and viscosity. Simply stated, performance at a given Reynolds Number is the same no matter the combination of flow, meter size, and viscosity. Re No = Flow Rate / (meter size x viscosity) Therefore, by utilizing the three () FMC test systems, Dynamic Tests can be run to determine measurement accuracy over a wide range of conditions. The below table illustrates the Dynamic Test for the three meters with high viscosity operating conditions. The below Reynolds Number Test illustrates a four (4) product dynamic test of a helical turbine meter utilizing the HF Test System for the high flow / high Reynolds Numbers and the MV Test System for the high viscosity / low Reynolds Numbers. Re No = (2,24 x flow in bph) / (meter size in inches x viscosity in cst) Re No = (,925 x flow in m /h) / (meter size in inches x viscosity in mm 2 /s) Note: mm 2 /s = cst Field Operating Conditions Dynamic Test Meter (Inches) Flow Range bph,500 4,500 m /h bph 6,0 9,000 m /h,00,020 bph 4,000 42,000 m /h 2,20 6,680 Viscosity (cst) Reynolds Number Range ,080,000,70,50,000,550 4,650 Meter (Inches) Flow Range bph 560,690 m /h bph,900 5,70 m /h bph 4,200 2,600 m /h 670 2,000 Viscosity (cst) Reynolds Number Range ,080 00,70,50 00,550 4,650 Dynamic Test Example Field Operating Conditions MV Test System Flow Range Actual: 6,0 to 9,000 bph (,00 to,020 m /h) Viscosity Range 0 to,000 cst MV System A HF System B Reynolds Number Range,70 to 50,550 K-Factor Reynolds Number Test Reynolds Number Size Flow (bph) Viscosity Reynolds Number Test System (Inches) min max min max min max A MV,900 8, ,70 82,000 2 B HF 6,0 9, ,880 50,550 Total Range,900 9, ,70 50,550

10 Laboratory Certification of Accuracy ISO 7025 NVLAP Accreditation Factory calibrating high performance ultrasonic or helical turbine meters to operating conditions requires a technically capable high-accuracy test laboratory. The National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) run by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) ensures that a laboratory fully meets international laboratory standards defined by ISO/IEC All measurements must be traceable through a National Metrology Institute (NMI) such as NIST that is member of the International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML). The accreditation body, NVLAP in this case, assesses factors relevant to a laboratory s ability to produce precise, accurate test and calibration data, including the: Technical competence of staff Validity and appropriateness of test methods Traceability of measurements and calibration to national standards Suitability, calibration and maintenance of equipment under test Handling and transportation of test items Quality assurance of test and calibration data To ensure continued compliance, accredited laboratories are regularly reassessed to check that they are maintaining their standards of technical expertise. The accuracy of the test systems in the FMC Technology Flow Research Center have been assessed based on the international Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty of Measurement or GUM as it is often called. The analysis provides of the overall accuracy meter calibration based on the statistical sum of the accuracy of the instruments that contribute to the measurement. For more information go to The FMC Technology Flow Research and Test Center is the only petroleum test laboratory in the world that can ensure true calibration over a dynamic Reynolds Number range of 00 to,000,000. FMC s Flow Research and Calibration Lab is accredited through NVLAP (NVLAP Laboratory Code ) to ISO/IEC 7025:2005 and meets all OIML standards.
