A relatively new method of proving meters is discussed here. Operational experience with the compact prover provides a faster, more accurate and economical method in which to have accurate proving of custody transfer meters. Although there are several confirmed and accepted methods used by the industry to prove meters, namely prover tanks, master meters, uni-directional piston provers, and bi-directional ball type provers; it is difficult to say that one method is better than another. The paper suggests that technology has progressed to the point that we can now say that the compact prover is one of the best methods of proving P.D. and turbine meters.
