Resumo: | |||||||||||||
In Brazil, the measurement of oil is regulated by ANP and INMETRO. The
Technical Regulation for Petroleum and Natural Gas requires that the oil flow
meters be calibrated in conditions close to those found at the measurement site,
both regarding the fluid (density and viscosity) and operational conditions (flow
rate, pressure and temperature). It is very difficult to replicate all these conditions
in national calibration facilities and expensive too. Thus, this study evaluated the
behavior of 7 Altosonic V meters calibrated with 5 types of fluids (oural,
condensat, fuel, heavy fuel and water). The calibration factors of the meters were
subjected to statistical evaluation and calibration curves were fitted looking for
possible behavior trends. Supposing that flow rates and viscosities would
influence randomly the factors, a conclusion was reached that, by using the
factory meter calibrations (fingerprint), that cover the entire measurement range
of viscosity and flow rates, by using Reynolds number, the required by norm
fiscal measurement error limits are met. Thus, it is suggested that periodic
checks of Altosonic V could be made with the fluid available in the calibration
facility, verifying the consistency of the factors obtained in this calibration and in
the fingerprint, aimed at complying with the legal limits of the application.
