Resumo:
Due to the fact that the existing standards don´t have a methodology related to the calibration of turbine meters and determination of the measurement uncertainty of the displaced gas volume in this meter, this research presents a methodology for standardizing the calibration processes. It was made possible by the use of a turbine based calibration rig. By processing the data acquired during the tests, it was possible to determine the measurement uncertainty of the involved variables and to evaluate the meter performance. Its temperature and pressure, together with the turbine speed, were measured in an existing rig of a calibration laboratory, for both master and test turbines, and the results are being used to accredit the laboratory to the Brazilian Calibration Network (RBC). The test procedures were developed from existing standards for similar testes, equipment specification and performance, and test conditions that allow the optimization of the uncertainty of measurement, in accordance to ISO GUM. This way, it was shown that the uncertainty of measurement of volume with the test turbine decreases when the gas volume increases, up to an approximately constant value, which determines the calibration condition. Finally, a methodology was developed to determine the turbine calibration factor (K-Factor) as a continuous function of the indicated value by the teste turbine along its operation range, simplifying the procedure to be used.
