Meter calibration

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-002332

The process of adjusting a flow meter to provide accurate measurements against a known standard. This involves comparing the meter's readings to a reference device or a precisely measured volume, then making corrections to minimize errors. Regular calibration maintains measurement integrity for production allocation and fiscal reporting.
