Method, System and Apparatus for Convenience and Compliance with Environmental Protection Regulations and Occupational Safety Standards during On-Site Fluid Flow Meter Calibration and Verification Procedures

摘要

The present invention offers a useful, novel, and non-obvious means of safely and quickly verifying and calibrating fluid flow instrumentation responsible for the accurate measurement and reporting of various forms of fluid flow rates, including but not limited to the verification and calibration of the fluid flow instrumentation responsible for the measurement and reporting of greenhouse gas emission rates.;The present invention introduces major modifications into the field of fluid flow meter calibration and verification and into the field of on-site use of standardized Coriolis flow meters as reference meters (also called “Master Meters”) under procedures such as those set out in the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Standard No. 10790:1999 (E), for fluid flow meter calibration and verification.;The present invention introduces to the field a portable, self-contained system for on-site (field) fluid flow meter calibration and/or verification and eliminates many demands for resources typically placed on manufacturing facilities during fluid flow meter calibration and verification procedures.;The present invention includes provision for the convenient and environmentally responsible disposal of contaminated and/or potentially hazardous waste material at authorized locations and thereby creates an atmosphere of enhanced occupational safety for the manufacturing facility requesting on-site fluid flow meter calibrations.

1. A fluid flow meter calibration equipment system, method and arrangement, housed and protected by a portable trailer, powered vehicle or other method of conveyance and comprised of one or more gas and/or liquid tanks or reservoirs, used for the containment and/or transportation of fluids circulated during the calibration and/or verification of fluid flow instrumentation such as fluid flow meters, combined with a means of comparing non-standardized fluid flow instrumentation against standardized fluid flow instrumentation such as fluid flow Master Meters.
