Resumo: | ||||||||
Ultrasonic flowmeters of liquids have been used each more
time in fiscal
measurements due to it low uncertainty of measure. That
meter uses the
methodology of transit time, the relationship between the
measured speed and the
flow was made through the warranty of flow profile, usually
denominated profile
of completely developed. As in practice distortions of this
profile exist, the use of
several acoustic bunches can compensate the discrepancies,
doing with that the
flow measurement has a lower uncertainty. The Oficial
Document of
ANP/INMETRO determinated that the fiscal flowmeters of
liquids should be
calibrated at least every 60 days, unless the measurement
report demonstrate that
other interval among calibrations is feasible. Recently, a
larger interval was
proposed for the ultrasonic flowmeter of 5 channels (4
years), associate to the
warranty of acting of the meter and of the maintenance of
the flow profile among
calibrations. The aim of this work is the proof
experimental that the
measurement diagnosis and maintenance of flow profile is an
important tool for
the warranty that the liquid flow is being measured
correctly and inside of the
requirements of fiscal measurement determinated by the
actual legislation. This
way, a system of acquisition of data was coupled to the
ultrasonic flowmeter of 5
channels, then the meter calibrated in two laboratories
certified by INMETRO and
belong Brazilian Calibration Network, respectively with
water and mineral oil
registering these reference values, also used for a
comparison among the
metrological characteristics of the two laboratories.
After, the meter was install in
a platform, demonstrating that the metrological
characteristics was maintains after
it installation. Finally, a day of production of the
platform was monitored, being obtained
information about the reliability of the measurements and
of it uncertainty.
