In oil applications, crude is extracted and transported through
pipelines that often run hundreds of miles through varying climates,
temperatures, and altitudes. As these elements vary, so do the properties of
the petroleum, necessitating flow computers to validate the precise quantity of
product calibrated flow meters. Meter provers help validate proper flow meter
operation.
The ProSoft Technology flow computer calculates a meter factor based on
constants and variables affecting flow rates, accumulated volumes, and
accumulated mass of the liquid petroleum product lowing through a prover with
known volume. With the new meter proving features, the module is now able to
communicate meter prover test results directly to the control processor and
SCADA control system. Operation of the prover interface feature can be
completely automated, can be performed manually, can be scheduled, or can be
triggered by events or operator intervention.
The prover interface feature supports these power types:
·
Unidirectional Pipe Prover
·
Bidirectional Pipe Prover
·
Compact Prover
·
Master Meter Prover
The module is unique in that it resides directly in the ControlLogix
chassis, acting as an add-on co-processor, dedicate to calculating flow
measurement without burdening the PLC with complicated flow algorithms.
