Estadistic control of meter oil, DERIVE.

Hi, i am looking for a way of estadistic control  of  meter oil during calibrations in field, specifically, i want know the derive of meter. My question is: Can i use the MF like "error", and use this  error for obtain the derive?

    Hi Carlos- I'm Tom O'Banion from Micro Motion BU, and I work with SMV a lot. Our statistical test is a "pass / fail" criteria, but not a MF like test. For allocation, and many other applications, the SMV is adequate to replace some or all proving runs or calibrations. In others, it can extend the interval that you need to actually establish a MF. In the soon-to-be-released API 20.2 for allocation, there is wording around using MV in lieu of proving. It should be published in a month or so. We have a number of excellent White Papers on our Web site, or if you send me your email I can get them to you. One of my favorites was presented at this year's Candian School of Hydrocarbon Measurement, and it discusses that in western Canada, Directive 17 allows SMV to be used instead of proving. I hope this helps!

    Hi Tom, thanks for your comment, i would like comment about we development it doing. We developed a tool for obtain the derive of a meter oil, we take as first referents the MF obtained during a calibration field whith a prover, we considered MF as a error , because the MF its a referent respect to the unit (one), so we take the MF of each calibration for obtain the derive, in relation to the first calibration and respect to previous calibration.

    I would like know your opinion about our consideration and to receive that documentation.

    Regards and thanks again

    There is good information in API MPMS CH 4.8. It describes Operation of Proving Systems. It can be purchased online at this site: www.techstreet.com/.../10374345

    Please let us know if there are additional questions- we're happy to help! For Coriolis, one consideration is that the prover is not too small. A sufficiently large prover assures much better MF repeatability.

    Forgot to mention - customers are beginning to use Smart Meter Verification in between their official proving runs to augment their data. It can help flag issues such as paraffin coating, or an incorrect meter zero.

    Thanks¡¡ Tom,
    I will go to review the document
