Metering Service Contract

A professional metering program offering first class service and maintenance.

How important is metering to you?

The installation of flow meters is essential for any fiscal/data management system. However, without regular validation checks, data accuracy may become unreliable over time resulting in:
• Over or under charging.
• Lack of confidence in metering readings and data accuracy / reliability.
• Product loss due to inconsistent quality or production downtime.
• Unreliable batch costings.
• Inability to substantiate readings.

Reliable operation - total peace of mind

Competence Metering Service Contract is designed to ensure flow meters are properly maintained, reading correctly and recalibrated at the recommended intervals, offering: • Planned maintenance of essential fiscal/data management equipment.
• Regular calibration of differential pressure transmitters, pressure and temperature transmitters with certification issued after each visit, providing proof of meter accuracy.
• A Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) program to help minimise costly downtime, and release maintenance staff for other duties.
• Total peace of mind that your equipment is being maintained by experienced original equipment manufacturer engineers.
• Assessment of key issues, such as correct installation, turndown ratio and density compensation, that can dramatically affect meter readings.
• Improved maintenance budget planning and forecasting
• Planned recalibration of pipeline unit.

Metering Recalibration

Metering Recalibration Most pipeline metering units will need re-calibration at regular intervals throughout their working life. The time span between each re-calibration will vary from unit to unit, and will depend on such factors as importance of fiscal/data management, quality of fluid passing through the unit, operating times, etc. On average Competence recommends that the pipeline unit is re-calibrated every 2-3 years if accuracy is paramount. Details of Competence certified calibration facility are detailed overleaf.

Service Specification

• Assess installation is correct, i.e. clear pipe lengths, separator installed, etc.
• Visually inspect pipeline transducer units (lagging etc. permitting)
• Check and blow down impulse lines (where possible in accordance with site safety regulations)
• Check differential pressure transmitter for zero and span – results to be recorded on calibration sheet
• Check all analogue inputs and outputs conform to test certificates – results to be recorded on calibration sheet
• Check simulated pressure and temperature inputs conform to test certificates
• Record results of calibration of pressure and temperature transmitters on calibration sheet
• Terminal connections to be checked on readout unit and ancillary electronic equipment
• Check flow capacity is within turndown ratio of unit
• Check calibration coefficients are as per manufacturers factory settings
• Written service report provided per visit, detailing findings, actions and recommendations/requirements
