Multiphase Meter Testing and Calibration

TÜV SÜD National Engineering Laboratory has led the way globally in research and development in multiphase flow meter testing and calibration for over 20 years. Our new Advanced Multiphase Facility has the largest test range of any such facility anywhere in the world, positioning Scotland as a world leader in this area of research. 

WHAT MULTIPHASE FLOW MEASUREMENT TESTING AND CALIBRATION Facilities DOES TÜV SÜD Have?

Gas Calibration Facility

TÜV SÜD National Engineering Laboratory’s Gas Flow Measurement Facility offers test and calibration for gas flows. The facility has been fundamental in developing knowledge and capability that has allowed industry to produce and measure natural gas along with its associated liquid hydrocarbon content from marginal reserves. The facility reduces the uncertainty and financial exposure that operators experience.

Produced Water Facility

TÜV SÜD National Engineering Laboratory has a purpose-built produced water test facility for testing and evaluating the performance of oil-in-water measurement devices. The facility can be used to test and evaluate the performance of online oil-in-water and solid-in-water monitors for produced water management.

Erosive Flow Centre

TÜV SÜD National Engineering Laboratory’s Erosive Flow Centre provides a complete range of sand erosion tests. Independent tests can be performed on a wide range of equipment and components under controlled conditions. In addition, we have extensive capability to use Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) (link to CFD Modelling page) to predict high erosion areas (hot spots) and erosion rates. By modelling a range of expected field operating conditions, the wear-life of equipment or components can be assessed.
