1 New and Unstarted Projects
Measurement Technical Committee New and Unstarted Projects February 5, 2019 Houston, TX Gary Choquette

2 MEAS-6-5C Effect of Upstream Piping on Ultrasonic Meter Bias
Status: Awaiting contractor research proposal Not clear if final scope has been settled on Role Full Name TL Lori Curtis M Anfinn Paulsen Cary Carter Claire Becker-Castle Fares Ben Rayana Jeff Sutherland Kerry Checkwitch Kimberly Kemp Leigh Farrell Marcel Vermeulen Martin Schlebach Michael Symm Mohammed Jughaiman Randy Miller Robert Kruithof Stuart Gibbons sun xuejun IM Alysia Salva Ilia Bluvshtein John Cox Jonatan Mustafa Robb Albers Swarandeep Sandhawalia Yong-Xiang Ma

3 Testing Approach USM in AGA-9 Configuration
USM Downstream from End Treatment 2 1 Run with FD flow and perturbed flow Primary Purpose of USMs Meter 1: used to determine the profile shape and swirl levels. Meter 2: used to determine the flow measurement performance. ? Flow Direction

4 MEAS-6-5D Practical Effects of Rough Walled Pipe in Gas Metering Applications
Status Awaiting guidance from the project team leader on scope direction Role Full Name TL Marcel Vermeulen M Anfinn Paulsen Cary Carter Claire Becker-Castle Fares Ben Rayana John Cox Logan Bowie Martin Schlebach Michael Symm IM Alysia Salva Jonatan Mustafa Kerry Checkwitch Lori Curtis Swarandeep Sandhawalia

5 Approach: FY 2019 (6 months, $65K)
Review existing published literature relative to the effect of tube roughness on velocity profile and/or ultrasonic meters. Assess the expected range of roughness influence on meter performance based on the literature and the development of simple models of ultrasonic meter response to velocity profile changes. Assess the expected influence of a range of roughness values that are consistent with: Honed pipe Standard pipe Corroded pipe

6 Approach: FY 2020 (12 Months, $135K)
Procure test meter(s): 8-path chordal meter that can simulate 4-path meter, and potentially a 5-path Krohne meter that measures closer to the wall. Fabricate piping spools with a range of defined roughness values based on the initial phase: Honed (exact value TBD) “Standard” (per AGA-9) Rough (exact value TBD) Roughness effects after flow conditioner only. Create draft/final report

7 MEAS-6-20C Auto Diagnostic Method Development for Ultrasonic Flow Meter
Status: Received contractor proposals First proposal rejected Second proposal open for project team review Now a three year project Seems like the contractor proposal is a different scope/direction than expected by the project team Role Full Name TL Swarandeep Sandhawalia M Anfinn Paulsen Claire Becker-Castle Fares Ben Rayana Kevin O'Donnell Leigh Farrell Martin Schlebach Michael Symm Randy Miller Robert Kruithof Stuart Gibbons Xu Bo Yong-Xiang Ma IM Chandulal Bhatasana Kerry Checkwitch Marcel Vermeulen Robb Albers

8 MEAS-6-17A In-situ Ultrasonic Meter Flow Validation for Gas Meters
Role Full Name TL Kerry Checkwitch M Ahmad I. Shaye Austin Meldrum Austin Sorensen Cary Carter Claire Becker-Castle Fares Ben Rayana Kevin O'Donnell Marcel Vermeulen Martin Schlebach Maureen Droessler Michael Symm Randy Miller Robert Kruithof Stuart Gibbons Yong-Xiang Ma IM Chris Levy Ilia Bluvshtein Nishant Batta Swarandeep Sandhawalia Status Awaiting contractor research proposal

9 Approach Task 1: Assess Ultrasonic Meter Capabilities
Ultrasonic meter manufacturers will be consulted to determine the capability of commercially available meters to sample and report the sound speed of natural gas at a high frequency. Task 2: Uncertainty Analysis and Meter Selection An uncertainty analysis will be conducted based on the information from Task 1. The PRCI Project team will select one or more ultrasonic flow meters to be tested during the project.

10 Approach Cont’d Task 3: Optimization of the Injection Method and Test Plan Development The lessons learned will be reviewed from the previous project to improve the injection technique and optimize the injection volume and pressure. The test plan will be developed with input from the PRCI Project Team. Task 4: In-Situ Meter Proving Testing The in-situ proving technique will be tested based on the test plan developed in Task 3 with the ultrasonic meters selected in Task 2. The testing will be conducted at the Metering Research Facility. All of the meters will be tested simultaneously. Task 5: Data Analysis and Reporting

11 MEAS-9-01 Evaluation of Analyzers for Multiple Gas Contaminants
Recently initiated contracting to CSU Testing to begin at CSU in July 2019 Test manifold design in process Test gas preparation under discussion – H2O and H2S can’t be introduced into the manifold the same way as a mixture containing methane, CO, CO2, O2 etc. Test gas may be prepared onsite at CSU, or purchased from a supplier; H2O and H2S injected in process Potential Equipment Suppliers Requiring commercially available devices, not prototypes Role Full Name TL Ilia Bluvshtein M Cary Carter Claire Becker-Castle Dean Osmar Fares Ben Rayana Leigh Farrell Maureen Droessler Michael Wong Nishant Batta IM Angelo Del Buono Chris Levy Danielle Mark Josh Rose Ned Davis Robb Albers

12 MEAS-9-01 Reviewing supplier device capabilities – need 3 of 4 components, must include H2S and H2O Additional detection capability desired, if CSU can handle it Continuing discussion with suppliers, may only have 4 to test – 2 laser, 2 chromatograph ABB Durag / AP2E Honeywell MECI Equipment Supplier Agreements forwarded as suppliers are approved

13 MEAS-15-01Develop Guidance for Calculation of HCDP in Natural Gas Pipelines
Research proposal received and approved by the project team Contracting underway Role Full Name TL Cary Carter M Anfinn Paulsen Austin Sorensen Claire Becker-Castle Dean Osmar Fares Ben Rayana Ilia Bluvshtein Jordan Hanrieder Martin Schlebach Maureen Droessler Robert Kruithof IM Alysia Salva John Cox Kerry Checkwitch Lori Curtis Nishant Batta

14 Liquids

15 MEAS-16-02 Water in Oil Meter Technology Testing
RFP Circulating Three potential contractors Many questions received Proposals due February 7 Draft test manifold design and test matrix proposed in the RFP One sample container system identified, would like to have a second available RFE Circulating to Potential Equipment Suppliers Requiring commercially available devices, not prototypes 9 positive responses to date Team will need to develop ranking, RFP planned for 5 devices Role Full Name TL Chris Levy M André Ferreira Brian Floeck Dan White Fahad A. Alfouzan Jeff Sutherland Ken Zimmerman Kevin Redford Lori Curtis IM Jonatan Mustafa Marcel Vermeulen
