Field proving of a liquid displacement meter using Bi-directional Pipe Provers in Custody Transfer applications; case study of Libyan Zueitina Oil Port

Abstract

In this paper, a field study is conducted on proving a positive displacement meter with bi-directional pipe provers to determine the repeatability of the meter's generated pulses and the deviation of the Meter Factor percentage during the Meter Proving process at Zueitina Oil Port in Libya. Equipment, procedures, requirements, national and international standards, and precautions that will ensure accurate metering of fluids were considered.
