Coriolis 2-phase liquid meter (TRICOR or...)
Coriolis 2-phase liquid meter (TRICOR or...)
(OP)
Hi,
I understand that API 5.6 and AGA 11 covers and approved the use of Coriolis meter as a custody transfer quality meter. there are other coriolis technology that are currently being used in the industry like micromotion and (the one I'm interested in) TRICOR meter. are these also covered in the APA and AGA standards since they're also coriolis?

As much as possible, do it right the first time...

Not sure about Tricor, but MicroMotion claims they can detect two phase flow and accurately measure the liquid flow. Haven't tried it myself though.

To expand on what is written above regarding AGA and API; these standards are the requirements for custody transfer for Coriolis meters that the meters should be compared against, whether the meters comply with the standards is a different question.

They are decent liquid meters when the fluid make-up is pretty constant. Not so good for clean dry gas, but can be OK if the pressure (and therefore the density) is high enough. Really crappy (just like every other meter) for multi-phase flow.
