Flow Management

2 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 10, ISSUE 3 ouring innovation into its designs, Flow Management Devices (FMD) leads the prover industry, manufacturing Small Volume Provers (SVPs), or compact provers, that are used to measure liquid hydrocarbons and calibrate meters. Founded in 2008, this year marks its 15th year of operations. These provers are usually situated on pipelines, where even small differences in measurement can result in significant, costly inaccuracies due to the volumes involved. The American Petroleum Institute (API) requirements, as well as custody transfer contracts, require regular calibrations or proving of meters to ensure accurate measurement in custody transfers. The meter calibrations need to be accurately traced and verified back to a known volume, which is where FMD’s provers are used.
