FCI VeriCal in-situ calibration verification for flare gas flowmeters

Fluid Components International (FCI) has released its VeriCal in-situ calibration verification system for gas and flare flowmeters. The VeriCal System is a device that allows technicians to confirm flow measurement accuracy in minutes, saving time and lowering operating costs in flare gas applications aboard offshore platforms and land-based oil and gas, and chemical plants.

The system allows for the verification of flowmeter calibration without removing the meter from the pipe or process and makes it easy to meet process validation more effectively and comply with environmental regulation requirements.

The VeriCal system combines a specially manufactured and plumbed air/gas flow element with additional electronics that feed and measure a precise flow of gas from a nitrogen source. To test a flowmeter, the nitrogen gas is passed through the meter’s flow element and measured against five benchmark measurement points across the meter’s range. The in-situ flowmeter test data is then compared to original FCI laboratory calibration and installation benchmark test data for the meter. Performing a verification with VeriCal also provides a secondary benefit of cleaning the flow element sensors, which helps ensure performance and reduces the need for routine maintenance.

The system is designed to work with a variety of FCI’s gas mass flow meters for flare flow measurement.
