DEVELOPMENT OF THE METHOD OF CALIBRATION OF PIPE-PROVER USING A COMPACT-PROVER WITH A COMPARATOR

Abstract

In this paper noted that the calibration of measuring equipment (measuring equipment, standards), as one of the types of metrological work related to metrological control, is directly related to the establishment and control of metrological characteristics of measuring equipment. Measuring equipment used in the field and/or outside the field of legally regulated metrology may be subject to voluntary calibration. Secondary and working standards are also subject to calibration. Calibration and registration of its results are carried out in accordance with methods of calibration. The requirements for the construction, presentation, design and content methods of calibration. were considered. The method of calibrating the pipe-proper test unit (TPU) using a reference compact prover with a comparator has been developed and is used in the calibration of reference pipe-piston units operated at the facilities of JSC "Ukrtransnafta". The application of the specified method of calibration made it possible to ensure metrological traceability from standards to working means of measuring equipment used for accounting for oil and oil products.
