Positive Displacement Meters and Turbine Meters are most commonly used for Custody Transfer applications of hydrocarbons. These meters produce good repeatability at a given set of flow conditions; however, they produce errors based on changes in flow rate, specific gravity, temperature, viscosity, wearing of parts, buildup of foreign matter, etc. Thus, if we can calibrate the meter at the condition at which it operates, we can eliminate most doubts of inaccuracies. This calibration is performed in most applications by conventional liquid displacement provers which are unaffected by the fluid conditions mentioned above over a wide range of flow. There are three basic types of conventional meter provers: (1) Tank prover; (2) Master meter prover; and (3) Pipe provers.
