11、eFOREWORDChapter 5 of the API Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards (API MPMS) pro-vides recommendations, based on best industry practice, for the custody transfer metering of liquid hydrocarbons. The various sections of this Chapter are intended to be used in conjunc-tion with API MPMS Chapter

12、6 to provide design criteria for custody transfer metering encountered in most aircraft, marine, pipeline, and terminal applications. The information contained in this chapter may also be applied to non-custody transfer metering.The chapter deals with the principal types of meters currently in use:

13、displacement meters, turbine meters and Coriolis meters. If other types of meters gain wide acceptance for the measurement of liquid hydrocarbon custody transfers, they will be included in subsequent sections of this chapter.Nothing contained in any API publication is to be construed as granting any

38、. . .75.4.11.3 Temperature Transmitters depending on the design, the adjustment range may cover from 1 to 10 percent of throughput.Different types of adjusters are capable of handling differ-ent torque loads. Friction-driven and clutch-driven adjusters show decreased sensitivity and repeatability wh

39、en torque is increased. Increased torque reduces life in all types of adjust-ers. If adjustment to a unity meter factor is not required, the adjusting device should be omitted from the meter, and a direct drive shaft to the register should be installed. 5.4.6.2 REGISTERA shaft-driven primary registe

40、r is attached directly to the meter. The primary register displays the selected standard units of measurement, such as gallons, barrels, or cubic meters; the register also displays fractions of these units, if required. A primary register may be a totalizer only or a total-izer with a separate non-r

41、esettable register. A primary register is usually secured and sealed to the meter to prevent tamper-ing (see 5.4.13).5.4.6.3 PRINTERA shaft-driven primary printer may accompany a primary register. The primary printer records on a measurement ticket the amount of liquid that is delivered. The ticket

42、is printed in standard units of measurement, such as gallons, barrels, or cubic meters, and in decimal fractions of these units, if required.Impact or pressure-roller printers are capable of printing one or more paper copies. The number of copies is limited by the type of paper and the clarity that

43、is required. Mechanical printers usually show the lowest digit to the nearest whole number. Ticket forms are inserted, printed, and removed manually.5.4.6.4 TEMPERATURE COMPENSATORA temperature compensator is a variable-ratio mechanism located in the meters drive train. It has a temperature sensor t

44、hat works with the variable-ratio mechanism to correct the indicated volume to standard reference temperature, 60F, 15C, or 20C. The temperature compensator must be set for the appropriate thermal coefficient of expansion of the liquid hydrocarbon that is measured.The location of the temperature com

45、pensator in relation to primary or other accessory readout devices depends on which of the devices are to be compensated and which are to remain uncompensated. Where practical, mechanical temperature compensators should be avoided. Temperature compensation is best achieved by approved electronic met

46、hods within the flow computer.5.4.6.5 PULSE GENERATORA pulse generator provides pulses in a quantity that is directly proportional to meter throughput. Pulsing devices can have various types of output signal, including switch clo-sures, square-wave signals, and sine-wave signals. The devices can als

47、o have various frequency outputs. 5.4.6.6 REMOTE TRANSMISSIONA remote-transmission device is used to transmit a mea-surement signal to a remote device, such as a driving device, that in turn can operate most meter shaft-driven accessories.5.4.6.7 PRESET DEVICEA preset device can be preset for any qu

48、antity of meter throughput. At the pre-selected quantity, the device will stop the flow of liquid or will perform other, desired functions automatically. It may or may not be an indicating device.5.4.6.8 GEAR-CHANGE ADAPTERA gear-change adapter changes the output shaft speed by a fixed ratio and is

49、sometimes used to achieve a given output for accessory devices.5.4.6.9 RIGID EXTENSIONA rigid extension is a convenience device used to elevate meter accessories some distance above the meter itself. The device is also used to isolate meter accessories from adverse environmental conditions at the meter.5.4.6.10 ANALOG GENERATORAn analog generator allows a displacement meter to gener-ate a DC current or voltage proportional to meter speed. The generators analog output can be used to remotely indicate or control flow rate or related tasks. This should not be used for quantity calcu
