Meter Provers for Pipeline – Custody Transfer Applications
FMD Meter Provers are used worldwide in the petroleum industry to verify the accuracy of liquid flow meters. Specifically designed for field use in calibrating flow meters for custody transfer applications, these small volume provers adhere to strict quality standards. They offer accurate and reliable measurements while minimizing product displacement. Our provers comply with API MPMS Chapter 4 and other international standards, and are compatible with various flow meter types, including Coriolis, turbine, helical turbine, positive displacement (PD), and ultrasonic.
FMD meter provers work well with most hydrocarbon products, such as crude oil, refined products, natural gas liquids (NGLs), cryogenic liquids, and hot bitumen. Their compact design makes them ideal for in-situ flow meter proving during custody transfer processes.
