- Abstract:
- A new multi-phase flow calibration facility was built at the CIM campus to calibrate single-phase or multi-phase flowmeters of 10 mm to 50 mm in diameter. The flow rate ranges under calibration are 0.08 ~ 50 m³/h for water, 2 ~ 120 m³/h for air and 0.3 ~ 15 m³/h for oil, respectively. The calibration methods are static volumetric method for water and bell prover method for air. To ensure the reliability of the system, some standard flowmeters are added to the pipelines of each phase of media. The design and construction of the system have been discussed in detail. The uncertainty for the calibration facility has also been analyzed.
