Brochure BiDi Prover R06

Designed and manufactured by a leader in Custody Transfer Measurement:
Brodie Provers
The most reliable means of determining and verifying the accuracy of a

Custody Transfer liquid sales meter is to compare the measured volume
of liquid through the meter against the known volume of a bi-directional
meter prover system.
Brodie’s Bi-Directional Pipe Provers provide automated, on-site calibration

for all flow metering installations, and remain the most commonly used
device to verify meter readings, establish meter factors and reduce end
user risk typically associated with measurement errors.
Every drop counts.

Applying the meter factor to the meter results in a more
accurate measurement particularly in applications under
Bi-Directional or Piston type Pipe Provers Custody transfer requirements and fiscal measurement.
Brodie bi-directional pipe provers offer the advantage of
continuous flow through the meter being calibrated without
interrupting the process movement.
Design
The design is individually tailored to the available space on
site. The liquid product and the required flow rates of the
meters are also important parameters.
Applications Specifications
• Hydrocarbon and chemical processing • 4 to 36 inch measuring sections
• Pipeline metering terminals • Flow rates from 100 BPH to 27,000 BPH
• Ship, tanker and barge loading facilities • Suitable for temperatures from -50ºF to 190ºF
• Refineries
• Petrochemical plants These provers are ball type bi-directional, as well as
piston-type for low temperature.
Prover Technology Bi-directional provers in particular offer long-term

reliability with minimum maintenance.
Certificates and API Standards

All Brodie Provers have their volume certificates by a third
party. The calibration certificates are furnished to the client.
The provers are in accordance with, and will meet the

design and construction standards set forth by the American
Petroleum Institute (API Manual of Petroleum Measurement
Standards, Chapter 4.2 Proving Systems) as well as ASME
B31.3, “Chemical Plant Refinery Piping” and/or ASME B31.4,
“Liquid Transportation Systems for Hydrocarbons”.
The repeatability is within 0.02 percent per API Chapter 4.2

and Chapter 12.2.4.
