Metering Solutions Capabilities
Meter Provers and Calibration
Ensuring long-term accuracy in fiscal measurement is challenging due to wear, fluid changes, and environment. Provers—stationary or mobile—enable on-site flow meter calibration, verifying accuracy before, during, or after transfers. Automated proving systems ensure compliance, reliability, and performance despite shifting field conditions.
Prover Types
The two main displacement provers are Pipe (stationary) and Compact (mobile). Pipe provers, including sphere and piston types, combine forward/reverse volumes and suit low-temp use. Compact provers are smaller, mobile, and have a broad turndown ratio—ideal for proving multiple meters across various locations.
Supervisory Control Systems Applications
A process acquisition control system integrates hardware and software to monitor, regulate, and optimize complex flow operations. It enables real-time data access, detects variability, tracks trends, generates reports, and supports custody transfer. Used in pipelines, refineries, and terminals, it ensures accurate, efficient, and accountable flow measurement.

Frequently Asked Questions
The two main types of metering systems are liquid and gas metering. The difference lies in the state of matter of the fluids requiring different systems designs and standards to comply with.
We get involved early on projects. This allows us to understand the need of the end user and establish early partnership while designing the system. Our experts are well experienced and trained to evaluate your requirements to ensure accurate measurements.
Uncertainty and lack or accuracy of measurements could be due to contaminations in the fluid, the type of fluid being measured, phase of the fluid, operating conditions, system design, devices used, and more. Emerson mitigates these factors by having deep understanding of the project scope, a portfolio of devices with high reliability, proper flow calculations and system design done by experts, and a conditional monitoring platform that detects risks in the system that may interfere accuracy.
Emerson projects are managed by a team of certified consultants, auditors, and custody transfer subject matter experts.
