net standard volume of hydrocarbon fluid as described in API Chapter
11.1 (2004).

2.1

Observed to Base Calculations

This section describes the methods to calculate a base density (density at
base temperature and atmospheric pressure) from an observed density
(density at an observed temperature and pressure). The observed density
input and associated observed temperature and pressure must come in to
the ROC800L through one of the density interface points which is
assigned either to a station or to a meter. If the density interface point is
assigned to a station, the base density is calculated at the station and
used by all the meters that are part of the station. If the density interface
point is assigned to a meter, the base density is calculated and used at
that meter only.
The observed to base correction factors are stored as shown in
Table 2-1.

CTL (observed to base)

The calculation of the temperature correction factor for observed
densitometer conditions to base conditions detailed below is performed
in accordance with API Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards
(Chapter 11.1, 2004). The correction factors are calculated for a base of
15C and 0 kPa(g). However, because the CTPL expressions were
developed and expressed in terms of a base density at 60F, this
calculation must be done using the following steps:
1. Convert the observed temperature and base temperature from C to

F and convert the observed pressure in kPa(g) to PSIG (see

equations below reference API section 11.1.5.1).

2. Convert the temperature at ITS-90 to IPTS-68 (reference API

section 11.1.5.3) using the following formula.

3. Calculate density at 60F (RHO60) and associated correction factors

(CTL, CPL, CTPL, Fp) for observed 60F (see equations below reference API section 11.1.6.2).

4. Using this value of RHO60, calculate density at 15C and associated

temperature correction factor (CTL) 60F15C (see equations

below reference 11.1.6.1).

5. Using this value of RHO60, calculate density at line conditions and

associated correction factors (CTL, CPL, CTPL, F) for 60Fline

(see equations below reference 11.1.6.1).

6. Calculate the CTL for observed temperature to 15C using:

CTL(obs15C) = CTL (obs60F) / CTL (60F15C)

The calculation for the effect of temperature on the liquid is:
CTL = exp{ 60 t [1 + 0.8 60 (t + 60 )]}
Where:
CTL = Correction factor for the effect of temperature on the
liquid
60 = Coefficient of thermal expansion of the liquid (F-1)
t = t* - 60.0068749
t* = Temperature of the liquid at the meter (F)
60 = Temperature shift value (a constant 0.01374979547 F)

for base density is made and the CTPL value is calculated using the
equations above. A new base density is calculated as:

This section describes the methods used to calculate a meter density
(density at flowing temperature and pressure) from a base density

conditions detailed below are performed in accordance with API
Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards (Chapter 11.1, 2004). The
correction factors are calculated from a base of 15C and 0 barg.
However, because the VCF expressions were developed and expressed
in terms of a base density at 60F, this calculation must be done using
the following steps:
1. Convert the meter temperature and base temperature from C to F

and convert the meter pressure in barg to PSIG (reference API

section 11.1.5.1).

2. Convert the temperature at ITS-90 to IPTS-68 (reference API

section 11.1.5.3).

3. Calculate density at 60F (RHO60) and associated correction factor

(CTL) for 15C60F (reference API section 11.1.6.2).

4. Using this value of RHO60, calculate density at line temperature

pressure and associated correction factors (CTL, CPL, CTPL, Fp)

60Fline (reference 11.1.6.1).

5. Calculate the CTL for 15C to line temperature using:

CTL(15Cline) = CTL (60Fline) / CTL (15C60F)

The correction for the effect of temperature on the liquid is calculated

as:
CTL = exp{ 60 t [1 + 0.8 60 (t + 60 )]}
Where:
CTL = Correction factor for the effect of temperature on the
liquid

This chapter describes the calculation and rounding methods used to

calculate a meter factor from a successful prove for both average data
method and average meter factor method, including rounding.

6.1 Calculation of Gross Standard Prover Volume (GSVp)

The gross standard volume of the prover (volume of the prover at base
conditions) is calculated as:
GSV p = BV * CCF p
Where:
GSVp = Gross Standard Volume of the Prover
BV = Base (Calibrated) Volume of the Prover
CCFp = Combined Correction Factor of the Prover
The base volume and the gross standard volume of the prover are
rounded as shown in Table 6-1.

The combined correction factor for the prover is calculated as:

CCF p = CTS p * CPS p * CTL p * CPL p
Where:
CCFp = Combined Correction Factor of the Prover
CTSp = Correction for the effect of temperature on the prover body
CPSp = Correction for the effect of pressure on the prover body
CTLp = Correction for the effect of temperature on liquid at the
prover
CPLp = Correction for the effect of pressure on liquid at the prover
Refer to section 2.2 for a description of CTL and CPL calculations (base
to alternate), using the prover temperature and pressure for the alternate
conditions. Refer to sections 6.1.1 and 6.1.2 for a description of CTSp
and CPSp calculations, respectively. The interim correction factors are
rounded before the combined correction factors are calculated. The
correction factors are rounded as shown in Table 6-2.

6.1.1 Calculation of Correction for Temperature on the Prover

Body
For small volume provers (external detector switches), the correction for
the effect of temperature on the prover body is calculated as:
CTSp = (1 + (T p Tcal )Y1 ) (1 + (Td Tcal )Y2 )
Where:
Tp = inlet prover temperatures of the liquid
Tcal = calibration temperature of the prover

ROC800L Flow Calculations User Manual

Y1 = thermal coefficient of radial expansion of the prover material
(/Deg)
Td = temperature of the displacer shaft
Y2 = thermal coefficient of linear expansion of the prover material
(/Deg)
For large volume provers (internal detector switches), the correction for
the effect of temperature on the prover body is calculated as:
CTSp = 1 + (T p Tcal )Y
Where:
Tp = average of the inlet and outlet prover temperatures of the
liquid (/Deg)
Tcal = calibration temperature of the prover (/Deg)
Y = thermal coefficient of cubic expansion of the prover material
(/Deg)

6.1.2 Calculation of Correction for Pressure on the Prover

Body
For single-walled prover, the correction for the effect of pressure on the
prover body is calculated as:
D
CPS p = 1 + (Pp Pcal )
E t
Where:
Pp = average of the inlet and outlet prover pressures of the liquid
Pcal = calibration pressure of the prover
D = inside diameter of the prover tube
E = Youngs modulus of elasticity of the prover tube steel
t = wall thickness of the prover tube
For a double-walled prover, there is no correction for the effect of
pressure and CPSp is set equal to 1.0.

6.2 Calculation of the Volume of the Liquid through the Meter at Base
Conditions (ISVm)
The indicated standard volume of the liquid at the meter (ISVm) is
calculated as:
PulseCount
ISVm =
* CCFm
K factor
Where:
ISVm = Indicated Standard Volume of Liquid at the Meter
Pulse Count = Number of pulses received at the meter (whole or
interpolated)

K-factor = pulses / volume
CCFm = Combined Correction Factor at the Meter
The combined correction factor for the meter (CCFm) is calculated as:
CCFm = CTLm * CPLm
Where:
CTLm = Correction for temperature of the liquid at the meter
CPLm = Correction for pressure of the liquid at the meter
Refer to section 2.2 for a description of CTL and CPL calculations (base
to alternate), using the meter temperature and pressure for the alternate

Factor Method
If the average meter factor method is selected for calculation of the
meter factor and repeatability, a meter factor is calculated for each trial
run from the pulse count for that trial run and the average meter
temperature and pressure and average prover temperature and pressure
over the trial run.

6.3.1 Calculation of Trial Run Meter Factor

The meter factor for each trial run is calculated as follows:

The repeatability of a trial run may be considered unacceptable
compared to earlier trial runs, but may be acceptable if those earlier trial
runs are discarded. The ROC800L proving program will compare trial
run repeatability in all sequential sets of trial runs to try to find the
acceptable number of sequential, repeatable runs. The factors and
repeatability for each trial run are rounded as shown in Table 6-9.

6.4 Calculation of Meter Factor and Repeatability using Average Data

Method
If the average data method is selected for calculation of the meter factor
and repeatability, the average pulse count, average meter temperature
and pressure, and average prover temperature and pressure are
calculated across the sequential, repeatable trial runs and a final meter
factor calculated using these averages.

6.4.1 Repeatability Calculation

The repeatability for each trial run is calculated as follows:
Pulses MAX Pulses MIN
100.0
repeatability =
Pulses MIN
Where:
Pulsesmax = Maximum pulse count from all good trial runs
Pulsesmin = Minimum pulse count from all good trial runs
The repeatability of a trial run may be considered unacceptable
compared to earlier trial runs, but may be acceptable if those earlier trial
runs are discarded. The ROC800L proving program will compare trial
run repeatability in all sequential sets of trial runs to try to find the
acceptable number of sequential, repeatable runs. The repeatability for
each trial run is rounded as shown in the table below.
