- Scope
- This standard addresses multiphase flow measurement in the production environment@ upstream of the custody transfer (single-phase) measurement point@ where allocation measurement for onshore@ offshore@ or subsea is applied. For other multiphase flow measurement applications such as reservoir management@ well tests@ and flow assurance@ the standard can be used as a reference or guide. However@ the focus of this standard is on those applications where the accuracy of multiphase flow measurement for allocation systems is required. This document refers to existing standards and recommended practices to supplement the guidance it provides in this subject area. The document addresses principles used in multiphase flow measurement@ multiphase metering types and classifications@ assessment of expected performance@ and selecting and operating multiphase measurement systems. Operational requirements or constraints are addressed@ including expectations for flow meter acceptance@ calibration criteria@ flow loop and in situ verifications@ and other guidance specific to different multiphase flow metering applications. The document does not address specific meter configurations.
