Proving Systems: Field Standard Test Measures

Standard Details

This chapter details all the essential elements of field standard test measures by providing descriptions, construction details, calibration procedures, operation, inspection, and field use requirements; along with revised drawings. Specifically included are detailed calibration methods, volume uncertainty calculations, discussion of water density, and standard calibration weights, and a review of test measure control charts. Accuracy and uncertainty requirements are also discussed. The information contained in this chapter is limited to atmospheric, graduated neck type, metal, volumetric field-standard test measures. The volume is determined between an upper neck scale zero, and either a solid bottom or a tapered bottom with a drain line and shut-off valve, depending on the size of the test measure. Bottom-neck scale test measures and prover tanks are not addressed in this document.
