Engineering Specification Performance Test Run Protocol

2.3.14 Based on Performance Test Run information and analytical data to be furnished to TEN-NL
by MIDOR, TEN-NL will evaluate the Performance Test Run to determine conformance
with the Performance Guarantee. This evaluation, and data reconciliation if any, will be
performed by TEN-NL at its established offices. TEN-NL will issue a report to MIDOR
which indicates either, that the Performance Test Run was successful and the Performance
Guarantee has been met, or that the Performance Test Run was not successful, outlining
noted deficiencies in the performance of the Unit. Such report will be issued after receipt of
the required analytical data. The Performance Guarantee shall be deemed to have been
satisfied if TEN-NL certifies that the Performance Test Run was successful and if MIDOR,
within ten (10) business days thereafter, has not furnished TEN-NL with a written a
substantiated report setting out the grounds based on which MIDOR contests that the
Performance Guarantee has been satisfied.

5. Worksheets

5.1 Correction Factors for Flow Meter Readings

The flow rate indicated in DCS is normally calculated from an actual measured value, like
pressure drop over an orifice plate, using the density of the gas or liquid. The density is
affected by changes in pressure, temperature, as well as composition of the medium
passing through the orifice flow meter. Not all corrections for density are included in DCS
and additional corrections by the operator may be required. The overall required correction
for density is dependent on the flow meter type and are listed below.
Correction factors for flow meters based on differential pressure requiring a square root
correction for density (orifice plate, annubar, Pitot, venturi):

• Meter reads in mass units, (for instance kg/h) for liquids:

D
W = WD
DD

• Meter reads in mass units, (for instance kg/h), for gases:

P TD M
W = WD
PD T M D

• Meter reads in volume units, (for instance liquid meters)

DD
Q = QD
D

• Meter reads in standard volume units, (for instance gas meters in Nm3/h)
P TD M D
N = ND
PD T M

Correction factors for flow meters based on volumetric flow requiring a linear correction
for density (Vortex):

• Meter reads in mass units, (for instance kg/h) for liquids:

D
W = WD
DD

• Meter reads in mass units, (for instance kg/h), for gases:

P TD M
W = WD
PD T M D

• Meter reads in volume units, (for example liquid, reading actual volume rate)
 Project n° - Unit Material code Serial N° Rev. Page

202812C 001 JSD 0000 0010 00 9 / 12

Engineering Specification Performance Test Run Protocol

No correction required

• Meter reads in standard volume units, (for gas meters with conversion into in Nm3/h)
P TD
N = ND
PD T

Correction factors for flow meters based on mass flow requiring a linear correction for
density (corriolis):

The measurement principle results in a direct measurement of the mass flow. When DCS
indication is in volumetric units, it is generally based on a density derived from the meter
that may be in accurate. The reported density or molecular weight from DCS should be
used for additional flow meter correction for the actual calculated density from the
laboratory data.

• Meter reads in mass units, (for instance kg/h) for liquid and gases

No correction required

• Meter reads in volume units, (for instance liquid meters)

DD
Q = QD
D

• Meter reads in standard volume units, (for instance gas meters in Nm3/h)

MD
N = ND
M
Where:
W = Actual mass flow in kg/h
WD = Mass flow indicated by meter, (equal to meter reading * meter factor), (kg/h)
P = Actual absolute pressure (upstream flow meter)
PD = Design absolute pressure (upstream flow meter)
T = Actual absolute temperature, (°C + 273.15)
TD = Design absolute temperature, (°C + 273.15)
M = Actual molecular weight from analysis
MD = Design molecular weight
Q = Actual volume flow, in m3/h
QD = Volume flow at conditions indicated by meter, (equal to meter reading * meter
factor), in m3/h
N = Actual volume flow at standard condition, in Nm3/h
ND = Volume flow at standard conditions indicated by meter,
(equal to meter reading * meter factor), in Nm3/h
D = Actual density, in kg/m3
DD = Density for which the meter was designed, in kg/m3
