CALIBRATION OF A METER BUILT INTO A LINE OF A HYDROCARBON PRODUCTION PLANT

摘要

A method for calibrating a meter built into a line of a hydrocarbon production plant, in which the meter is suitable for providing an estimate of the flow rate of a fluid in the line depending on a measurement of the fluid carried out by at least one sensor and on the value of at least one calibration parameter corresponding to the measurement of the sensor under a predetermined condition of flow of the fluid in the line. The method includes at least one in situ measurement (S20) by the sensor under the predetermined condition, followed by the determination (S30) of the value of the calibration parameter depending on the result of the measurement. This offers a solution for the improved calibration of a meter.
