Abstract

This study established a highly effective system, a controllable volumetric prover (CVP), for evaluating the responsiveness of flowmeters having various hydrodynamic principles. The CVP analyzes flowmeters’ responsiveness by controlling the transient flow rate with various waveforms. The CVP is a novel system equipping various analysis methods to quantify indexes regarding flowmeter responsiveness, such as gain, time constant, harmonic distortion, and more. In this study, the system quantitatively compares the responsiveness in flowmeters with different hydrodynamic principles, such as Coriolis, tangential, and ultrasound, as application examples. The most reliable method for steady-state flow measurement, the static weighing method, evaluates the uncertainty of the flow rate control of CVP. Based on the model equation for the flow control by the CVP, the expanded uncertainty of the flow rate control by CVP is estimated as 0.15%.
