Study on Flowmeter Proving Errors of a Small Volume Prover
소형 푸루버의 유량계 검증 오차 연구
Abstract
Leaks at the piston seal and the by-pass port of a small volume prover have relatively large influence on the proving accuracy in comparison with a conventional ball prover. The pulse interpolator, which is to increase the discrimination, is affected by the characteristic of the flowmeter signal. In this study, a small volume prover of the double cylinder type was designed in order to study the pulse interpolation error as well as the leak error. The basic volume of the prover determined by a water draw method was about 9.68L. Experimental results revealed that interpolation data attained by the repeated piston pass for turbine meters at a fixed flowrate may be treated effectively by applying a statistical method. It was possible to limit the pulse interpolation error less than .+-. 0.02% at the 95% confidence level. However, in the case of the bulk meter, if failed to achieve the required repeatability level because of the pulse characteristics. The basic volume change appeared to be independent of the piston velocity within the .+-. 0.05% of tolerance.
본 연구에서는 지금까지 개발된 각종 소형 푸루버의 작동원리 및 장단점을 분 석 비교한 결과에 따라 이중 실린더형의 소형 푸루버를 직접 설계 제작하고, 개발된 소형 푸루버를 사용하여 펄스 주기 변동특성이 각각 다른 유량계를 대상으로 펄스보간 오차 시험을 실시하였다. 실험결과는 통계적 방법을 도입하여 분석함으로써 유량계 각각에 대하여 기대 검증 정확도 수준을 선정하였다. 또 기대검증 정확도가 좋지 않 게 예상되는 유량계에 대해서는 검증 정확도 향상 방안을 제시하였다.
