27、TO SECTION 2, FLOW MEASUREMENT USING ELECTRONIC METERING SYSTEMS, INFERRED MASS1 ScopeThis Addendum specifically covers inferred massmeasurement systems utilizing fl w computers as the tertiaryfl w calculation device and either turbine or displacement typemeters, working with on-line density meters,

28、 as the primarymeasurement devices. The Scope does not include systemsusing calculated fl wing densities, i.e., Equations of State. Thehardware is essentially identical to that referenced in APIMPMSChapter 21.2 and the methods and procedures are asdescribed in API MPMSChapters 14.4, 14.6, 14.7 and 1

29、4.8.Audit, record keeping, collection and calculation interval,security and most other requirements for systems covered inAPI MPMSChapter 21.2 will apply to this Addendum. As inChapter 21.2, the hydrocarbon liquid streams covered in thescope must be single phase liquids at measurement conditions. 1.

30、1 APPLICATIONThe procedures and techniques discussed in this documentare recommended for use with new measurement applica-tions. Liquid measurement using existing equipment andtechniques not in compliance with this standard may have ahigher uncertainty than liquid measurement based on the rec-ommend

43、tandards,Chap-ter 21.2. This addendum to the basic API MPMS Chapter21.2 standard will specifically address inferred mass mea-surement using turbine and displacement type meters, asdescribed and allowed in API MPMS Chapters 14.4, 14.6,14.7 and 14.8. API 14.4 was derived from GPA 8173 andAPI 14.7 was

44、derived from GPA 8182. Direct mass measurement using gravimetric methods orCoriolis mass meters, inferred mass measurement using ori-fice meters, and other forms of mass measurement are notcovered in this addendum.Only exceptions to Chapter 21.2 are detailed in this adden-dum. If a section of Chapte
