Master Meter
FCM integration of master meter for calibrating flow meters across various industries, including oil and gas, water, and energy sectors. This method is valued for its efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and ability to maintain high accuracy in measurement systems.
Applications and Benefits
Oil and Gas Industry:
The master meter method is crucial for ensuring the accuracy of fiscal meters used in the oil and gas industry. It helps in maintaining the integrity of metering systems, which is vital for commercial transactions between operators.
Water Flow Calibration:
This method offers a simpler and more cost-effective alternative to gravimetric flow measurement methods for calibrating water flow meters. It requires less maintenance and can achieve measurement uncertainties as low as 0.20%.
Hydrogen Fuel Technology: In the context of hydrogen fuel cell technology, the master meter method is used to calibrate compressed hydrogen dispensers. However, challenges such as poor repeatability due to different flowmeter models have been noted, suggesting that certain stages of the filling process should be excluded from error calculations.
