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.
