ABSTRACT:
A trailer mounted densitometer proving system includes three product tanks, each of which stores a respective petroleum product having a differing specific gravity. The product from any one of the three tanks is circulated via an electric pump through a pycnometer, a densitometer being proved, and a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger controls the temperature of the circulating product and a pressure control system controls the pressure of the circulating product. By comparing the pycnometer weight with the densitometer reading, the densitometer can be proved for a wide range of pressures, temperatures and products in order to determine the accuracy of the densitometer under actual working conditions.
