Abstract:
Flow measurement is vital to many industrial sectors, such as water
supply, oil extraction, gas distribution and much of the processes and
pharmaceutical industry, which depend on flow meters for quality control
and custody transfer. To obtain the required level of accuracy at an
appropriate price, it is crucial that the right meter is selected for the
application and that it is appropriately used for the measurement of
hydrocarbon fluids. The need for energy and fuel increased and
continuously to increasing as civilizations develop technically. The need
for economical resources of energy as fuel becomes imperative.
Hydrocarbon fluids are the most economical source of fuel energy. The
primary purposes for consistent high accuracy measurements and better
precision are to achieve: and maintain proper accountability, insurance of
flow measurement systems integrity and above all satisfaction between
customer or client and supplier.
Different ways and techniques are used to measure the liquid flow
rate, the suitability of each technique is based on the properties of the
liquid, the environmental conditions surrounding the area, the location of
measuring devices, type of business, ... etc.
Custody Transfer is the measurement responsibility for change in
transferring and delivering of fluid, providing quantity and information
on a change is an ownership and/or responsibility of commodities
between two parties possessing a contractual agreement and bound by the
terms and conditions of such a contract.
