Common use of Meter Factor Clause in Contracts

Meter Factor. 1. Meter proving calculations shall he in accordance with API Standards. The average of five (5) consecutive prover runs shall be taken to establish an initial or new meter factor, provided that the five (5) proving runs are within 0,0005 (0.05%) of each other and the meter factor is within 0.0025 (0.25%) of the previous meter factor under like operating conditions. 2. The new meter factor shall be used after each successful proving if it meets the above proving criteria. 3. If the new meter factor deviates from the previous meter factor under like operating conditions by more than plus or minus 0.0025, then one half (1/2) of the volume measured since the previous proving shall be corrected using the new meter factor. If the time of malfunction can be determined by historical data, then the volume measured since that point in time shall be corrected using the new meter factor. The new meter factor shall not be used to correct volumes measured more than 31 days prior to the new proving. 4. No work shall be performed on the measuring element of a turbine meter without 24 hour notice being given to Buyer except in case of an emergency and proving the meter. If any work is performed, a new meter factor shall be established. 5. If the new meter factor deviates 0.0025 or more, the element shall be removed and inspected. If there is build-up on the internals, then the element shall be cleaned and the meter re-proved. If excessive wear is found, then the element shall be repaired or replaced and the meter re-proved to establish a new initial meter factor. After a 24-hour wear-in period, the meter shall be re-proved and if the meter factor changes more than +/- 0.0015 from the new initial meter factor, then one-half (1/2) of the volume measured shall be corrected using the latest meter factor. 6. The measurement technician shall record all required corrections to measured volumes and shall describe the findings, method of repair, and calculations used in making the correction on the meter proving report. A correction ticket for the amount of the correction shall be issued.
