Terminology Overview - Calibration

Paraphrasing the formal definition defined by the International

Vocabulary of Metrology (VIM).

Calibration is the procedure to establish a relationship between the

quantity value given by the flowmeter (i.e., mass flowrate for the unit

under test), and the reference quantity value obtained by a calibration

reference (e.g., rig), with its associated measurement uncertainty.

Calibration Method

• Comparison with in series master meter

• Mobile calibration with Coriolis flowmeter as reference

Calibration Range and Flowmeter Size

• Small pump: 0.20 to 30 m3/h (depend on UUT pressure loss)

• Big pump: 0.20 to 60 m3/h (depend on UUT pressure loss)

• DN8 to DN100

Calibration Points

• 3 or 5 points

• Others on request

Time required (per device)

• 2 to 3 hours (depending on calibration points, process condition/connection, etc)

• Cleaning has to be performed before calibration

100% Traceability


Yang FF Slide 11

• The Endress+Hauser approach is accredited calibration rigs

based on ISO/IEC 17025 as the traceability foundation.

• This means full traceability with an uninterrupted chain of

proof regarding the test equipment, from the test device to

the hierarchically highest standard in each country

“national standard”, confirmed by an accreditation.

Example: Promass F is calibrated with a measurement uncertainty of ±0.025% as a master meter and Maximum Permissible Error (MPE) of ±0.05% (in customer’s production plant).

The calibration rig (Endress+Hauser) • PremiumCal calibration rig for testing Promass 83F/84F (as an example) • Measuring uncertainty: ±0.015% • Accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 by the Swiss Accreditation Service (SAS) • Annual SAS audits of the facility

The gravimetric scales (Endress+Hauser) • Gravimetric scales of the PremiumCal calibration rig for measuring the reference flow values • Regular verification of the scales every 2 weeks with calibrated reference weights (= internal reference standard) • Measuring uncertainty of the reference weights (class F2): ±0.0016%

The national standard (national institute of metrology) • Verification of the reference weights used by Endress+Hauser every 5 years by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology METAS using a mass comparator and national reference weights (national reference standards) • Measuring uncertainty of the METAS 500 kg reference weight (set 502, class E2): ±0.0001% (0.5 gram to 500 kg) • Periodic comparison of the reference weights to Switzerland’s replica No. 38 of the IPK every 10 years

The International Prototype Kilogram (at BIPM, France) • International Prototype Kilogram (IPK) = global reference and basic unit of mass. The Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM), founded in 1875, keeps the IPK under lock and key in a vault on its premises in Sèvres near Paris (France). • In 1950, 1991 and 2003 comparison measurements for verification took place between the IPK and Switzerland’s replica No. 38. • Measuring uncertainty: ±0.000001% (±10 micrograms)

Accreditation by Swiss Accreditation Service (SAS)

Since 1994, Endress+Hauser has been

accredited as a calibration provider for

flowmeters by the Swiss Accreditation

Service (SAS) in accordance with ISO/IEC

17025. The very good results of the

comparative verification measurements

carried out by both the Swiss Federal

Institute of Metrology (METAS) and

Endress+Hauser confirm the high reliability

of the flow calibration rigs accredited by

SAS at Endress+ Hauser.

Best Practice for Flow Calibration Management

Common myth: My flowmeter needs to be calibrated annually because.... (you

are not so sure)

Calibrate at an optimum frequency and save cost!

Fail to plan for flow calibration? Fail to save cost...

What we recommend:

Yearly calibrations are not necessary, as some flowmeters require calibration

only once every 3 or 4 years depending on the process fluid, operation, and

criticality. In other cases, a flowmeter may require calibration much more

frequently, to maintain a safe, efficient, or regulatory compliant operation. It’s

also important to realize that calibration intervals are not always fixed,

meaning that they might fluctuate based on usage or historical performance.


Yang FF Slide 25

04/10/2017

Start Now? Don’t Wait Further...

1) Difficulty with compliance and audit? Afraid of failing an audit?

2) Ask for support from E+H

3) Assessment over all flowmeters

(environment condition, criticality, risk of maintainability)

4) Setting up calibration plan

5) Storing information in an effective way (W@M portal)

6) Continuous improvement plan
