THE PROBLEM:
Issues with Standard Calibration Devices
Inaccurate results
There are over 12 sources of error associated with open neck or mechanical provers.
Inefficient processes
Many calibration devices require human involvement, which leads to errors and slow processes.
The Solution:
Coriolis Reference Meter Prover (C.RMP)
C.RMP is the world’s most accurate sensor providing lab quality measurements and calibrations for retail fuel dispensers. The prover is able to eliminate over 12 different sources of error that are present in standard calibration processes, the most substantial being human error (0.5%) and vapour loss (0.1-0.3%).
The calibration process of the C.RMP is entirely automated to create the most efficient workflow possible for your technicians. They do not need to manually flow product, input data or generate reports. The system is programmed to complete exactly what is needed and upload any important reports and data to a reporting website for clients to access.
Operational consistency is maintained through a feature in which enables each client’s corporate standards to be programmed into your technicians software. When performing the calibration the C.RMP knows exactly what standards to calibrate within, depending on the client. This ensures your service is performed consistently for the client regardless of varying technicians or locations of the sites.
Benefits
Eliminate Human Error
Connect the C.RMP to the fuel dispenser and let the system do all of the work.
Improve Workflow
Speed up data entry and verification with highly automated processes.
Increase Operational Consistency
Capture each customer’s flow rate standards in the system for consistent testing regardless of technician.
Improve Safety
Closed loop nature of the system prevents all harmful vapours from being released.
Technical Specs
Accuracy
Accurate within ±0.1% to ±0.2% of the flow-rate being measured.
Repeatability
Repeatability of measurement is 0.02% across all temperature and flow rate ranges.
Turn-down Ratio
Turn-down ratio of 100:1 meaning that if a meter is rated for a maximum flow-rate of 200 gpm, it is still accurate down to 2 gpm.
What is the Coriolis Force?
For a detailed explanation of how the Coriolis force is utilized in a flow meter please watch the video to the left.
In physics, the Coriolis force is an inertial force that acts on objects that are in motion relative to a rotating reference frame. In a reference frame with clockwise rotation, the force acts to the left of the motion of the object. In one with anticlockwise (or counterclockwise) rotation, the force acts to the right. Deflection of an object due to the Coriolis force is called the Coriolis effect.
