Small Volume Provers for Offshore and FPSO Applications
FMD Small Volume Provers are ideal for Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) and offshore applications, providing a smaller footprint, light-weight, efficient, and accurate solution for custody transfer loading, and unloading applications.
FMD Provers are currently in use in petroleum measurement applications worldwide, both onshore and offshore. Our provers are designed per API MPMS Chapter 4 and other International standards, to verify the accuracy of almost any liquid flow meter type, including Coriolis, turbine, helical turbine, PD (positive displacement) and ultrasonic.
FMD SVPs ensure accurate and repeatable proving performance and are compatible with most hydrocarbon products, such as crude, refined products, NGLs, cryogenic liquids, and hot bitumen.
Small Volume Provers are designed for in situ proving of flow meters in custody transfer applications while maintaining stringent quality standards and providing accurate, reliable measurement with minimal product displacement.
