METHOD, APPARATUS AND COMPUTER MEDIUM FOR CORRECTING TRANSIENT FLOW ERRORS IN FLOWMETER PROVING DATA

摘要

An apparatus for increasing the accuracy of meter factors of a flow instrument in conjunction with a prover having upstream and downstream prover detection switches and a flow computer including a computer program for correcting errors in a meter factor measured in a proving run and/or correcting effects of flow rate changes during proving. A computer readable medium whose contents causes a processor to increase the accuracy of meter factors of a flow instrument in conjunction with a prover having upstream and downstream prover detection switches and a flow computer, by performing the steps of receiving signals from the upstream and downstream prover detection switches and the flow instrument. There is the step of correcting errors in a meter factor measured in a proving run. A method for increasing the accuracy of the meter factors of a flow instrument in conjunction with a prover having upstream and downstream prover detection switches and a flow computer. The method includes the steps activating a processor. There is the step of correcting errors in the meter factor measured in a proving run with a computer program in the processor.
