  Used to verify the accuracy of a gas meter, a meter prover establishes the K-Factor (pulses per volume) and Meter Factor (used with a meter to correct accuracy for ambient conditions) of a meter, including the linearity over the calibrated flow range, and the repeatability for the meter system. Meter verification, or proving, is used by well owners to provide accurate measurements, minimizing losses and maximizing profits. Think of flow metering systems as “cash registers” for petroleum operations that lose profits and result in enormous financial errors in a short period of time if not addressed and measured accurately. At Critical Control, we’ve created the Liquid Prover Loop for accurate meter calibration and prover loop testing.

  At Critical Control Energy Services, our goal is to provide well owners with the tools and software they need to properly monitor their systems. Inaccurate calibration can lead to a loss of profits, as well as an unsafe working environment. Read on to learn more about our calibration gas, including how it is made and why it is important. What Is Calibration Gas, and Why Is It Important? Calibration gas is a precise blend of gases used to establish the base level or starting point for a machine. Exposing sensors to a known concentration of gas will ensure that the gas is properly detected and measured, improving accuracy and increasing safety. Calibration gas is used to detect a variety of gases, including liquid petroleum gas (LPG), liquified natural gas (LNG), and standard natural gas. It’s no secret that excessive exposure to harmful gas is dangerous. Properly calibrating sensors will help ensure that issues or leaks are identified before they become life-threatening, improving...

A midsize oil and gas producer was in search of a  solution to improve their fluid analysis storage,   sample scheduling and meter calibration to comply with regulatory  requirements. Their current manual approach was no  longer feasible for fluid analysis & meter calibration, as a recent acquisition had increased  their asset size to over 10,000 meters. Critical Control’s ProTrendTM offered a solution to  provide a central storage location for all fluid analysis  composition data and meter calibration. This fluid analysis data is automatically  uploaded where a validation process flags any  samples that are out of the client’s predetermined  parameters, significantly decreasing manual  intervention. ProTrend’s centralization of the fluid analysis ensured that all  the composition data information was made available in  one location. This decreased the time that spent by  the producer’s administrator searchi...
