Flow Meter Frame Fabrication, Installation on Road Tanker, and Calibration: A Step-by-Step Project Progression
🚛 Flow Meter Frame Fabrication and Calibration Project Progression
Flow meter calibration plays a critical role in ensuring accurate measurement of fuel transferred via road tankers. Here’s how Parkvan Calibration delivers precision and trust, step by step.
⚙️ Stage 1: Flow Meter Frame Fabrication
We begin by selecting materials and engineering specifications aligned with the required throughput and fuel type.
- Material selection (steel, aluminum)
- Metering mechanism: positive displacement
- Customization based on tanker layout
🔩 Stage 2: Mounting and Pipe Fittings on Road Tanker
Secure integration onto the tanker chassis is essential for durability and performance.
- Isolation valves installation
- Pipe routing to minimize turbulence
- Safety features
🎯 Stage 3: Field Calibration and Accuracy Testing
We calibrate against a master meter in compliance with Trade Measures standards. ![Calibration process bubble]
- Multiple test runs at different flow rates
- Error correction factors applied
📈 Why Accurate Flow Meter Calibration Matters
- Minimizes fuel losses and revenue leakage
- Ensures compliance with legal metrology standards
- Builds trust with clients through traceable records
🧠 Takeaway
Accurate flow meter calibration isn’t just a compliance requirement—it’s a business enabler. At Parkvan Calibration, our engineered process from fabrication to calibration ensures your road tanker metering system performs to the highest standard.
