- Abstract:
- In August 2012 CIATEQ tested a new DP meter diagnostic system (called “Prognosis”) on 4”, 0.5 beta ratio, flange tapped orifice meters. These comprehensive tests, at the CIATEQ water flow laboratory at Aguascalientes, Mexico, were the first third party organized liquid flow tests of this technology. CIATEQ considers this DP meter diagnostic system potentially compliant with new Mexican government flow metering regulations. Official authorities were present to witness these tests. In this paper the latest developments of the working principles of the diagnostic system are described. The operators interface with the diagnostics is also described.
