Flow MD Small Volume Provers (SVPs) are a cost-effective and accurate alternative to ball provers. With a much smaller footprint, SVPs can be installed in a variety of locations, including onshore and offshore facilities. SVPs are also easier to operate and maintain than ball provers, which results in both CAPEX and OPEX savings over time.

If you are looking for a cost-effective and accurate alternative to ball provers, then Flow MD small volume provers are the perfect solution for you

1. 1. Cost and Accuracy:
      • Flow MD Small Volume Provers offer a cost-effective and accurate alternative to traditional ball provers.
      • SVPs have a significantly smaller footprint, making them suitable for various locations (onshore and offshore).
      • They provide lower uncertainty (0.009% to 0.004%) in comparison to ball/pipe provers.
   2. Installation Efficiency:
      • Small Volume Provers are less expensive to install due to their compact design.
      • Minimal construction or site preparation is needed before installing an FMD Prover.
   3. Maintenance Advantages:
      • SVPs are easier to service
      • Conveniently replace internal piston seals and external piston shaft seals.
      • Self-diagnostic controllers monitor system condition and provide real-time information.
   4. Water Draw Process:
      • FMD Small Volume Provers allow for gravimetric or volumetric water draw.
      • Quick water draw process using certified mobile water draw laboratories.
   5. Fluid Compatibility:
      • SVPs are more compatible with a range of liquid hydrocarbon products than ball provers.
      • Ball provers may require sphere changes for different products, causing downtime and maintenance issues.
      • Flow MD Small Voume Provers work well with crude oil, refined products, NGLs, and hot bitumen.
   6. Meter Compatibility:
      • FMD SVPs work with most meter types.
      • Older ball provers may need retrofitting for Coriolis and ultrasonic meters.
      • Pulse interpolation methodologies are used for proving manufactured pulse meters.
   7. Speed of Proving:
      • FMD small volume meter provers are significantly faster (up to 80%) due to their smaller volume.
      • Small volume prover systems allow quick field water draw operations.
      • Most small volume prover water draws can be completed in less than 1 to 2 days.

In summary, Flow MD Small Volume Meter Provers offer a reliable, cost-effective solution for verifying all meter types compared to conventional, ball, or pipe proving technology. Feel free to contact us to learn more about how we can help replace your conventional provers!
