High-Pressure Calibration of Natural Gas Meters Using the M3™ Mobile Master Meter
Field Convenient. CEESI Powered.
Shipping gas flow meters from Africa to the United States or Canada for verification and / or calibration takes time and costs money—plus exporting labor means that service revenue and ensuing economic development crosses those borders with the meters.
That’s why we offer our clients high-pressure calibration that can be done locally with the M3™ Mobile Master Meter. The revolutionary M3™ is a patented meter that verifies and calibrates large-volume natural gas meters in the field based on AGA 6 and utilizes the CEESI data acquisition and reporting system. Our master meter is lab calibrated at CEESI Iowa regularly to ensure high accuracy, high dependability, and low uncertainty.
Our clients in Africa can now have this equipment brought to their site at less cost than exporting. This also means that the verification and recalibration servicing can be done same-day, instead of the weeks to months it would take to ship meters out, service them, and await their return. In other words: Far less downtime and far less financial loss.
The M3™ doesn’t only save our clients in Africa time and dollars in exporting their meters, however. It also saves money by mitigating the financial risks associated with the complications that labs can neither verify nor calibrate. Think: meter shifts, debris buildup, electronics changeout, transducer changeout, etc.
While these issues may go undetected in labs that can only check meters and the pipe sections sent with them, the M3™ can identify and quantify all installation effects. So, our clients can grasp the magnitude of any measurement discrepancies and seamlessly source solutions to certify the system.
Expected cost savings average between 40 and 50 percent, all because of these key benefits:
No more wasted time on shipping meters back and forth.
No more wasted money on outsourced labor.
No more giving away the potential for economic development.
No more loss due to unnecessary downtime.
No more undetected contributors to inaccurate measurements and, ultimately, financial hits.
