1 INTRODUCTION This document provides the detail of a bilateral comparison undertaken between the high viscosity oil calibration facilities at TUV SUD NEL Ltd (NEL) and FMC Technologies (FMC). After discussion with FMC a transfer meter package and test program was agreed upon. NEL were contracted to provide a bilateral intercomparison opportunity for FMC following the commissioning of their oil flow calibration facility located in Erie, PA, USA. FMC manufacture various types of flowmeter and have recently completed the commissioning of an ISO 17025:2005 (NVLAP laboratory code 200939-0) accredited flow calibration test facility in support of the manufacture and development of their products. To provide confidence in the performance of the flow facility, a requirement of ISO 17025 accreditation is to participate in intercomparison of measurement with other accredited laboratories. TUV SUD NEL Ltd (NEL) is custodian of the National Standards for flow measurement in the UK. In fulfilling this role NEL holds a wide range of flow test facilities covering water, a variety of oils, gas and multiphase flow. The single phase flow facilities are accredited to ISO 17025 by United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS Accreditation no. 0009) As the designated National Measurement Institute for flow measurement in the UK, NEL participates in the European co-operation for metrology institutes (EURAMET) and has participated in many national and international intercomparisons. The Flow capability has been accepted into the Key Comparison Data-Base held by BIPM on behalf of the CIPM. The roles and positions of BIPM and CIPM as the coordinators of world metrology can be seen at www.bipm.org. NEL recently completed the International Key Comparison for Hydrocarbon flow where equivalence was established between institutes in Europe and the Asia pacific metrology area, APMP. The role and description of the CIPM key comparison work, and its support for the international Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA), can be obtained from the web site of the BIPM (www.bipm.org). The results of the hydrocarbon Key Comparison are available from: http://kcdb.bipm.org/AppendixB/appbresults/ccm.ff-k2/ccm.ff-k2.pdf As a designated national metrology institute NEL is entitled to place the CIPM MRA logo and accompanying explanation as part of calibration certificates (see Appendices 1 and 2). 2 TEST FACILITIES AND METER PACKAGE The test facilities, the test procedure, and details of the package are summarised below. Additional details are provided in the calibration certificates in the Appendices. 2.1 FMC Test Facilities The Multi-Viscosity (MV) Test System is part of the FMC Technologies Flow Research and Test Center located in Erie, PA USA. The MV Test System is a closed loop test system, with two (2) separate test lines. A test is run through either test line and the other test line is isolated using double block-and-bleed valves. The lines can accommodate nominal pipe sizes from 3” to 16”, and larger sizes with limited upstream piping. The system can operate at line pressures up to 7 bar (100 psi (g)) with flow rates up to 1,270 m3/h (8,000 bbl/h).

Figure 1 provides a schematic diagram of the flow circuits. The oil for the 11.5 m3 (3,000 gal) closed test circuit is drawn from one (1) of four (4) 11.5 m3 (3,000 gal) supply tanks. The system is pressurized with a screw pump upstream of two (2) variable speed positive displacement pump that control the flow rate. The fluid continually passed through a 25 ton chiller to maintain the fluid at a predetermined temperature from 21°C to 43°C (70°F to 110°F). Each test line can accommodate up to 7.6 m (25 ft) of horizontal straight lengths or alternative configurations as required. At the outlet of each test section, the fluid can be directed through the Small Volume meter Prover (SVP) and / or one of the two (2) the Master flowmeters. The SVP and / or the Master Meters are isolated from the test system using double-block-and-bleed valves when not in use. There is a transfer pump system to change the test fluid in the test circuit.

Figure 1 Schematic Diagram of the FMC Technologies MV Test System The “Meter Under Test” (MUT) can be calibrated by the Direct Proving Method (DPM) or by the Master Meter Proving Method (MMPM). When using the MMPM the master meter is first calibrated over flow rate at operating conditions prior to calibrating the MUT. The “Running Start-and-Stop” gate method is used for both the DP and MM prove methods. The DP method utilizes the SVP to gate “prove run”. For the MMP method the MUT is used to gate the “prove run”. The Master Prover is the primary reference standard for the MV Test System. It was gravimetrically calibrated at the manufactures facility Honeywell Enraf Americas, Inc. Roswell, GA USA to an expanded uncertainty of 0.016% at k=2. The NVLAP accreditation range and proficiency test range are listed in Appendix E. 2.2 NEL Test Facilities The UK National Standards Oil Flow Facility, located at NEL in Glasgow, Scotland, consist of two separate flow circuits (A and B), each with a high capacity and a low capacity flow line. These can accommodate nominal pipe sizes from 0.5” to 10”, and can operate at line pressures up to 10 bar. Test fluids can be delivered at flowrates up to 720 m3/h.

Figure 2 provides a schematic diagram of one of the flow circuits. The oil for each circuit is drawn from a 30 m3 supply tank into the suction stream of the main pumps, from where it is discharged to the test lines. A conditioning circuit, linked to each tank, maintains the oil temperature to within ± 1 ºC of a pre-selected value (itself set in the range 5 – 45 ºC). Each test line can accommodate up to 30 m of horizontal straight lengths or alternative configurations as required. At the outlet of each test section, a manifold directs the fluid back to the storage tank or to one of the calibrated weigh tanks. Line temperature and pressure are monitored both upstream and downstream of the test section.

Figure 2 Schematic Diagram of the NEL Oil Flow Test Facility

The flow lines share a common primary standard weighbridge system consisting of four separate weightanks of 150, 600, 1500 and 6000 kg capacity. The facility is fully traceable to National Standards and is accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS). For ‘primary’ calibrations, a gravimetric ‘standing-start-and-finish’ method is used to determine the quantity of fluid (volume or mass) which has passed through the flowmeter under test and into the selected weightank. The gravimetric weightanks constitute the primary reference standard of the NEL oil flow facility. Using the above technique, the overall expanded uncertainty in the quantity of fluid passed through the MUT is 0.03 % at k = 2 (approximating to 95% confidence). This applies to oils with a kinematic viscosity between 2 – 30 cSt. For oils with a kinematic viscosity greater than 30 cSt, the overall expanded uncertainty in the quantity of fluid passed through the MUT is 0.25 % at k = 2 (approximating to 95% confidence). In the evaluation programme for the low viscosity data (2 cSt), the oil flow facility was operated in ‘standing-start-and-finish’ mode and the test meter compared against the primary gravimetric reference system. As such, the overall uncertainty in the quantity of fluid passed through the MUT, is 0.03 % (k = 2). In the evaluation programme for the high viscosity data (200 cSt), the oil flow facility was operated in ‘standing-start-and-finish’ mode and the test meter compared against the primary gravimetric reference system. As such, the overall uncertainty in the quantity of fluid passed, is 0.25 % (k = 2).

2.3 Intercomparison Package The intercomparison package was supplied by NEL. The transfer flow meter used in the intercomparison programme was a 200 mm (8 inch) rotary-vane, positive displacement flowmeter serial number LK143770, manufactured by FMC Technologies Smith MetersTM. (Figure 3).

Figure 3 Smith MetersTM PD Reference Flowmeter Installed at NEL This package met the requirements and had a good track record of stability and repeatability when used over a number of years at NEL as a master reference flowmeter. This package was selected for its flow range, history and capability. The meter was configured to provide a pulsed output with a nominal K-factor of 10 Pulses/litre (P/L).

The positive displacement flowmeter provided an output of electronic pulses proportional to the volumetric flow. The performance indicator for the intercomparison was chosen to be K-factor. K-factor is a term used to describe the performance of meters, such as positive displacement meters, whose output is in the form of a series of electrical pulses, and where the total pulse count, (n) is proportional to the volume (VT) passed, and the pulse frequency; (dn/dt) is proportional to the flowrate. It is defined as:

T

F V

nK (1)

2.4 Test Conditions Both laboratories used different test fluids for the intercomparison. Two nominal fluid viscosities, 2 cSt and 200 cSt, were selected for the intercomparison. For the low viscosity comparison, NEL used an EXXON kerosene substitute with a nominal viscosity of approximately 2 cSt at 28 °C. For the high viscosity comparison, NEL used a white mineral oil, Siptech, with a nominal viscosity of approximately 200 cSt at 28 °C. For the low viscosity comparison FMC used a kerosene/gas oil substitute with a nominal viscosity of approximately 3.3 cSt at 28°C. For the high viscosity comparison, FMC used refined lubricating oil, with a nominal viscosity of approximately 400 cSt at 28 °C. Tests were carried out in both laboratories at a temperature of 28 °C using the low viscosity fluid. However the high viscosity fluid tests were completed at 28 °C at NEL and 36 °C at FMC. Deviation in the temperature and viscosity of the fluid can cause significant change in the response of rotary-vane positive displacement devices. The differences in viscosity and temperature can produce different K-factors at a given volumetric flowrates. To ensure that the influence of viscosity and temperature differences on the comparison was minimised, the high viscosity comparison was carried out at nominally the same kinematic viscosity (approximately 200 cSt) and a temperature correction factor derived by NEL applied to normalise the results to a common reference temperature. This procedure was also followed for the low viscosity comparison at a kinematic viscosity of approximately 2.6 cSt.. This meant that several test conditions were completed at both NEL and FMC. The NEL test conditions and the FMC test conditions have been summarised in Tables 1 and 2 respectively.

Test conditions A1 – E1 and F – J were completed in August 2011. Test conditions F – J were repeated in December 2011 after the test work at FMC had been completed and the flowmeter returned to NEL. Tests A2 – E2 were completed in December 2011 to match the low viscosity tests completed at FMC in October 2011.

3 CONDUCT OF THE INTERCOMPARSION The package was set up and calibrated at NEL. The results were recorded and analysed according to NEL’s quality system procedures. The package was then shipped to FMC’s test facility in Erie, PA, and was installed and then calibrated according to FMC’s quality system procedures. The installation set up and test was witnessed by an NEL representative. No modifications were made to the flowmeter. The meter was then returned to NEL where it was again tested according to the test matrix outlined in Table 1. Following the FMC calibration the results were provided to NEL for analysis and reporting. In both sets of tests, a number of repeat points were carried out at each flowrate. A minimum number of five repeat points were collected at each flowrate. After five points were collected the uncertainty of the mean was tested by ensuring that the spread of results fell within 0.05%. If the spread was outside 0.05% additional points were collected until the spread of results fell within the tabulated values given in the API Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards, Chapter 4.8, Table A – 1. This table provides spread values which will give an uncertainty in the mean of better than ±0.027% for any given number of test points. The uncertainty of the mean value is defined as:

n

tU r

(2)

Where t is Students t value for n results at 95% confidence, σ is the sample standard deviation of the results and n is the number of test points. 4 TEMPERATURE CORRECTION The “K-factor” of the flowmeter selected for the intercomparison programme can be considered to be a function of three main parameters: the volumetric flowrate (Q), the liquid viscosity () and the fluid temperature (T). The volumetric flowrate and liquid viscosity of the test fluid for the two laboratories was preselected to ensure good agreement between the two facilities. However, although it was possible to match the fluid viscosity or fluid temperature between the two facilities, it was not possible to match both simultaneously. As such, fluid viscosity was matched and the fluid temperature altered between the two test laboratories. To correct for the effect of temperature on the flowmeter, a temperature correction was devised from previous test data and applied to the device. The temperature correction applied is defined as: TKK FTCF (3)

Where KF is the devices uncorrected K-factor value, α is the temperature correction factor and ΔT is the temperature difference between the two calibration fluids.

NEL

Project No: FGTR11 Page 12 of 44 January 2012 Report No: 2011/435

From an examination of previous test data collected at NEL for this meter, the temperature coefficient, α, for the device was found to be 0.0007 P.L-1.°C-1. 5 TEST RESULTS The results of the NEL calibrations are given in Appendices A and B in the form of test certificates. The results of the FMC calibrations are given in Appendices C and D in the form of report tables. The low and high viscosity results from the NEL comparisons are summarised in Tables 3 and 4 respectively. The low and high viscosity results (temperature corrected and uncorrected) from the FMC comparisons are summarised in Tables 5 and 6. The intercomparison is shown graphically for both meters in Figures 5, 6, 7 and 8. The type A uncertainty based on the repeatability of each test is given in Tables 3, 4, 5 and 6. This uncertainty contribution is calculated as shown in equation (4). The overall uncertainty for each test flowrate was calculated by combining the repeatability uncertainty of the mean (Ur) with the reference uncertainty (Ul) quoted by each laboratory.

rl UUU (4)

These uncertainty bands are shown as error bars around each test point on the graphs (Figures 5, 6, 7 and 8). The length of each bar indicates the overall uncertainty. The equivalence of the laboratories can be quantified by calculating the normalised deviation, or equivalence, in the form of the En value1:

22

FMCNEL

FMCNELn

UU

KKE

(5)

where K is the mean K-factor from NEL’s or FMC’s results at a mean flowrate and U is the combined uncertainty from NEL or FMC data set as applicable. If En is less than 1, there is equivalence between the results within 95% confidence limits. The results are summarised in Table 7. At all flowrates the value En is less than 1 showing that equivalence has been established between the NEL and FMC results. 6 CONCLUSION It can be concluded from the results in Section 4 that the FMC Technologies oil flow calibration laboratory and the corresponding UK National standards operated by NEL are equivalent in terms of their reference measurements of volume passed through the meter under test. This result validates the traceability of the FMC laboratory and its associated statement of uncertainty. It is underpinned by the ISO 17025 accreditation of the NEL facility. This is reinforced by the position of NEL as custodian of the UK National Standard for flow measurement and hence the inclusion of the facilities in regular internationally recognised intercomparison exercises.

Bi-lateral intercomparison of oil flow facilities between NEL and FMC Technologies

The uncertainty in the density of fluid at the meter under test is estimated as 0.02 per cent.

RESULTS

FMC Technologies

The device was calibrated by comparison of the output value with the value derived from a reference gravimetric weighing system. The method used was a standing-start-and-finish technique where the flow was started quickly and stopped at the end of the test.

The uncertainty in the derived performance indicator of K-Factor or error due to the resolution of the meter output of ±1 pulse / unit varies according to the quantity collected and should be added to the above uncertainty for each test point.

The flowmeter package was installed in the TUV NEL National Standards Oil Flow Measurement Facility, as shown in Figure 1.

TEST FACILITIES, MEASUREMENTS AND METHOD

Using the test method outlined, the uncertainty in the measurement of the quantity of fluid passed through the device under test is estimated to be 0.03 per cent.

The results are tabulated in Table 1 and shown graphically in Figure 2. Test Point numbering may be non-consecutive due to intermediate checks, which are not shown.

The flowrate was calculated using the time taken for the quantity of fluid to pass through the meter. All measurements are fully traceable to National Standards.

UNCERTAINTYThe uncertainty estimates quoted are expanded uncertainties based on a standard uncertainty multiplied by a coverage factor k=2. This provides a level of confidence of approximately 95%. The uncertainty estimate has been carried out in accordance with the methods recommended in international standards (GUM and ISO 5168). Components of uncertainty given below can be added by root sum square methods to give overall uncertainty in the given parameters. If not specifically stated, additional uncertainty has to be estimated and added by the user, based on the spread or repeatability of the data and the influence factors present when the instrument is in service.

The K-Factor (K) of the device under test was derived from the total number of pulses (P) output by the device divided by the reference quantity (Q):

Bi-lateral intercomparison of oil flow facilities between NEL and FMC Technologies

The uncertainty in the density of fluid at the meter under test is estimated as 0.02 per cent.

RESULTS

FMC Technologies

The device was calibrated by comparison of the output value with the value derived from a reference gravimetric weighing system. The method used was a standing-start-and-finish technique where the flow was started quickly and stopped at the end of the test.

The uncertainty in the derived performance indicator of K-Factor or error due to the resolution of the meter output of ±1 pulse / unit varies according to the quantity collected and should be added to the above uncertainty for each test point.

The flowmeter package was installed in the TUV NEL National Standards Oil Flow Measurement Facility, as shown in Figure 1.

TEST FACILITIES, MEASUREMENTS AND METHOD

Using the test method outlined, the uncertainty in the measurement of the quantity of fluid passed through the device under test is estimated to be 0.03 per cent.

The results are tabulated in Table 1 and shown graphically in Figure 2. Test Point numbering may be non-consecutive due to intermediate checks, which are not shown.

The flowrate was calculated using the time taken for the quantity of fluid to pass through the meter. All measurements are fully traceable to National Standards.

UNCERTAINTYThe uncertainty estimates quoted are expanded uncertainties based on a standard uncertainty multiplied by a coverage factor k=2. This provides a level of confidence of approximately 95%. The uncertainty estimate has been carried out in accordance with the methods recommended in international standards (GUM and ISO 5168). Components of uncertainty given below can be added by root sum square methods to give overall uncertainty in the given parameters. If not specifically stated, additional uncertainty has to be estimated and added by the user, based on the spread or repeatability of the data and the influence factors present when the instrument is in service.

The K-Factor (K) of the device under test was derived from the total number of pulses (P) output by the device divided by the reference quantity (Q):

Bi-lateral intercomparison of oil flow facilities between NEL and FMC Technologies

The uncertainty in the density of fluid at the meter under test is estimated as 0.2 per cent.

RESULTS

FMC Technologies

The device was calibrated by comparison of the output value with the value derived from a reference gravimetric weighing system. The method used was a standing-start-and-finish technique where the flow was started quickly and stopped at the end of the test.

The uncertainty in the derived performance indicator of K-Factor or error due to the resolution of the meter output of ±1 pulse / unit varies according to the quantity collected and should be added to the above uncertainty for each test point.

The flowmeter package was installed in the TUV NEL National Standards Oil Flow Measurement Facility, as shown in Figure 1.

TEST FACILITIES, MEASUREMENTS AND METHOD

Using the test method outlined, the uncertainty in the measurement of the quantity of fluid passed through the device under test is estimated to be 0.25 per cent.

The results are tabulated in Table 1 and shown graphically in Figure 2. Test Point numbering may be non-consecutive due to intermediate checks, which are not shown.

The flowrate was calculated using the time taken for the quantity of fluid to pass through the meter. All measurements are fully traceable to National Standards.

UNCERTAINTYThe uncertainty estimates quoted are expanded uncertainties based on a standard uncertainty multiplied by a coverage factor k=2. This provides a level of confidence of approximately 95%. The uncertainty estimate has been carried out in accordance with the methods recommended in international standards (GUM and ISO 5168). Components of uncertainty given below can be added by root sum square methods to give overall uncertainty in the given parameters. If not specifically stated, additional uncertainty has to be estimated and added by the user, based on the spread or repeatability of the data and the influence factors present when the instrument is in service.

The K-Factor (K) of the device under test was derived from the total number of pulses (P) output by the device divided by the reference quantity (Q):
