Long-term Accuracy Research of Membrane Gas Meter |
Natural gas is not only an important livelihood and industrial material, but also play a key role in the policy of meeting electricity demand, energy saving and carbon reduction. Household gas must use the "gas meter" as the basis for gas company gas to measure and price gas. Since the internal structure of the "gas meter" is mainly thin film, it is also called "membrane gas meter". In order to ensure and improve the quality of membrane gas meters, the Bureau of Standards has implemented a pattern approval system for membrane gas meters since 2004 and it has been implemented for more than 10 years. At present, more than 3.5 million membrane gas meters have been installed across the country. In 2004, Bureau of Standards implemented inspections, whether the manufacturers that can actually implemented self-verification and self-inspection. And whether manufacturer of the membrane gas meter complies with the relevant regulations newly added or revised by the Bureau of Standards in 2003. After inspection, there are several conclusions: First, there are a small number of membrane gas meters currently in use on the market that have not been type approved; Second, at present, the membrane gas meter that has passed the maintenance verification does not regulate the exit mechanism and the duration of service. The Bureau of Standards considers that the duration of service of the specification has a wide range of impacts and needs to be carefully evaluated, because it may affect the willingness of manufacturers to continuously improve the meter. Therefore, Center of Measurement Standard(CMS) conducts a research for the long-term accuracy of household membrane gas meters. |

Measurement System Validation Procedure for High Pressure Gas Flow Calibration System–Comparison Method/Recirculating Flow |
This document describes the uncertainty evaluation procedure of the circulating high-pressure gas flow calibration system (system code F05) of the National Measurement Laboratory (NML). The working standard units are eight 2-inch rotary meters and two 6-inch ultrasonic flowmeters. The mass flow rate of the standard unit is directly calculated by measuring the temperature, pressure and actual volume flow rate of the standard unit. Divide the mass flow rate of the standard unit by error correction factor to obtain the passing standard mass flow rate. It is also possible to convert the standard mass flow rate of the standard unit to the actual state (or reference state) of the under-calibrated flowmeter, and then compare the actual (or reference) volume flow rate between the standard unit and the under-calibrated flowmeter. The uncertainty analysis is according to ISO/IEC Guide 98-3:2008(GUM). The considered uncertainty categories that affect the calibration results are estimated through either Type A or Type B evaluation. The relative combined standard uncertainty of the measurement result is then obtained by taking the root-sum-squared (RSS) of each uncertainty component multiplied by its sensitivity coefficient. The relative expanded uncertainty is obtained by multiplying the relative combined standard uncertainty with the coverage factor at the 95 ％ confidence level, which is obtained based on the effective degrees of freedom calculated by Welch-Satterthwaite equation. The calibration capability of this facility is shown as below: Working fluid：Dry air； Actual volume flowrate：( 25 to 2000 ) m3/h； Standard volume flowrate：( 125 to 110000 ) m3/h ＠ ( 101.325 kPa , 23 ℃ )； Mass flowrate：( 150 to 132000 ) kg/h； Cumulative total volume：( 6.25 to 166.67) m3 ＠ ( 25 to 2000 ) m3/h； Pressure：( 500 to 5500 ) kPa (absolute)； Temperature：ambient temperature。 The uncertainty of the calibration and measurement capability with a 95 ％ level of confidence UCMC: Standard Unit Standard System Base Including Device 2” rotary transfer standard meter UBase = 0.20 ％ UCMC = 0.20 ％ k = 1.98 k = 1.98 veff = 150 veff = 151 Eight 2” rotary standard meter UBase = 0.23 ％ UCMC = 0.23 ％ k = 1.97 k = 1.97 veff = 239 veff = 240 Two 6” ultrasonic standard meter UBase = 0.25 ％ UCMC = 0.25 ％ k = 1.97 k = 1.97 veff = 299 veff = 300 |

Research Report of the Oil Meter Accuracy |
The 10 L black tank used by gas station operators has the characteristics of light weight and thin wall in comparison with the 10 L stainless steel tank. The measurement characteristics of the black tank may change due to environmental temperature or long-term usage. In this study, we studied the differences of the measurement characteristics between the stainless steel tank and the black tank by the residual water experiment, short-term and long-term ambient temperature experiment. The results showed that the residual water volume, ambient temperature, and reproducibility had little effect on the black tank. In addition, the color of the neck wall of the black tank is black so that the curved liquid level is not clear for visual inspection. The resolution of the black tank is 10 mL larger than the stainless steel tank. Therefore, the inspection of the black tank should be carried out in a well-lit environment to avoid reading errors. |
