Abstract | No measurement is free from uncertainty. Uncertainty is defined as the deviation from the true value within a stated probability. The paper looks at flow measurement uncertainty costs in relation to oil and gas applications. Examples are given of the sources of uncertainty and their impact on the overall measurement. What is not commonly appreciated is the extent to which largely untreated influences can have on the overall measurement. A good example here is the recommended upstream straight length ahead of the flowmeter in order to stabilize the flow for metering purposes. Typical distances for turbine meters range from 10 up to 20D and for some other types this can be more. However this 10-20D is given independent of pipe size. Fluid dynamically, it is not correct to state that 10D is required for a DN50 pipe and that 10D is also required in a DN500 pipe. Here the existing standards do require revision. Experiments have shown that the straight upstream length should increase as pipe diameter increases. The paper treats uncertainty in cost terms and concludes by comparing the cost of the measurement uncertainty to the cost of the installation itself. Bids always try to minimize the purchase cost but this is only a small fraction of the overall cost of measurement. Even the stability of dedicated provers can impact the overall measurement uncertainty and the Author presents data quantifying this largely neglected cost. Recent audits in several refineries have confirmed the correctness of the proposed methodology. It is thought that most if not all refineries and chemical plants can reduce costs of metering by simply working to better and tighter guidelines. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
