Abstract: Methods for operating a flowmeter diagnostic tool are provided that comprise interfacing the diagnostic tool with a flowmeter (5) sensor assembly (10). A base prover volume (BPV), a desired number of passes per run, and/or a maximum number of allowed runs may be input into the diagnostic tool. Flowmeter data is received. An estimated total prove time (TPT) necessary to pass a predetermined repeatability requirement, an estimated minimum number of runs needed to achieve the calculated TPT, and/or an estimated minimum BPV may be calculated.

Abstract: A meter electronics (20) and a method for detecting and identifying a change in a vibratory meter (5) is provided. The meter electronics (20) includes an interface (201) configured to receive sensor signals (100) from a meter assembly (10) and provide information based on the sensor signals (100) and a processing system (202) communicatively coupled to the interface (201). The processing system (202) is configured to use the information to determine a first stiffness change (244) associated with a first location of a conduit (130, 130′) of the vibratory meter (5), determine a second stiffness change (254) associated with a second location of the conduit (130, 130′) of the vibratory meter (5), and determine a condition of the conduit (130, 130′) based on the first stiffness change and the second stiffness change.

Abstract: A system (600) and method (500) for a standards traceable verification of a vibratory meter (5) is provided. The system (600) includes a storage (610) having a baseline meter verification value of the vibratory meter and a processing system (620) in communication with the storage (610). The processing system (620) being configured to obtain the baseline meter verification value from the storage (610) and determine a relationship between the baseline meter verification value and a calibration value of the vibratory meter, said calibration value being traceable to a measurement standard. The method (500) provides a traceable verification of a vibratory meter by comparing (540) a physical property of the vibratory meter, which is determined from a first calibration value, to a reference value determined from a second calibration value, said calibration values being traceable to a measurement standard.

Abstract: A method for detecting a deviation in a flow meter parameter is provided. The method includes measuring a differential pressure across at least a portion of the flow meter, calculating a friction factor based on a measured flow rate and the measured differential pressure.
