OPERATION PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH PROVER DETECTOR SWITCHES

摘要

In many parts of the petroleum industry, sphere provers are used to dynamically calibrate volumetric meters. In order to accomplish this, sphere provers are required to be accurate and repeatable. This accuracy and repeatability is largely dependent on performance of the prover sphere detector. Any operational or design problems associated with the prover detector will affect the prover's performance. This paper will review critical parts of a prover sphere detector that must be checked in order to obtain accuracy reliability and repeatability.
