CONE DP FLOW METERS – COMMENTS & LESSONS FROM 15 YEARS OF CALIBRATION EXPERIENCE

R. Steven, W. Johansen, K. Lewis

Abstract

Cone DP meters are popular generic differential pressure (DP) meters that are used in many industries. There are as yet no cone meter standards documents. Each cone meter is individually calibrated to characterize the meters performance. CEESI has calibrated many cone meters over the last 15 years. This paper shows some massed data sets on cone meter performance and reviews the likelihood of a cone meters performance being predicted without a dedicated calibration. The paper then reviews in detail the calibration data of a large 48”, 0.616 beta ratio cone meter, and introduces a new DP Diagnostics DP meter diagnostic system that was included in the CEESI calibration procedure of this 48” cone meter.
