METERING AND MEASUREMENT TANKS

They measure and verify fluid quantities in industries like oil and gas, petrochemicals, and water treatment for commercial transactions, process optimization, or regulatory compliance and to calibrate the flowmeter due to gas bubbles inside the liquid.

They are cylindrical vessels made of compatible materials and equipped with inlet/outlet connections and instruments for measuring temperature, pressure, and level. Additional features may include mixing devices, sampling ports, and calibration systems.

Tanks undergo calibration to establish accurate volume capacity, using a known quantity of fluid and calibrated reference systems to determine calibration factors.

Accurate level measurement is crucial, achieved through technologies like float and tape systems, guided wave radar, ultrasonic sensors, or pressure transmitters.

Tanks incorporate compensation systems to account for temperature and pressure variations, using sensors and correction factors to ensure accurate measurements.

Tanks are commonly integrated with flow meters, such as turbine meters, positive displacement meters, or Coriolis meters, to measure real-time flow rates in conjunction with volume measurements.

Regular maintenance, calibration checks, sensor calibration, and inspections are crucial to maintain accuracy and reliability of metering and measurement tanks.
