ABSTRACT:
The apparatus and method proves to be the use of the pipeline carrying a petroleum fluid. A through-put pipe having a meter to be proved, and the bypass pipe are connected with valves to the pipe line so that petroleum fluid may be caused to fall either through the through put pipe or the bypass pipe. A prover is spatially arranged with a bypass pipe and measures a fluid flow in the bypass pipe. At least one sensor arranged with a through-put pipe senses a physical characteristic of the petroleum stream flowing the through-put pipe. A computer which includes memories having stored the meter's manufacturers' performance data, is at work for determining the type of curve generated by the stored performance data, a circuit for fitting data generated by the prover to the determined type of curve.
