Challenges in Turbine Flow Metering System: An Overview

This paper presents an overview of turbine flow meter (TFM). State of the art, the basic concept of TFM, and some parameters that influence the robustness of TFM are described. In addition, some challenges that occurred in TFM that can affect the accuracies of the measurement are also analysed. The different meter reading between the manual metering or turbine stand meter and Electronic Volume Corrector (EVC) that occurs in turbine flow meter in oil and gas industries is one of TFM challenges. This difference leads to losses in customers or in industries themselves. A notification system is proposed in this paper. An intelligent system that can determine the occurrence of the error will be embedded to the system. It is hoped that by having the earlier notification, the losses can be decreased
