Meter Proving Systems

MagnaProve® - Small-Volume Piston Prover

The MagnaProve is a small-volume piston prover designed to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of flow measurement in the petroleum industry. Utilizing a proprietary electromagnet design coupled with a linear actuator, the MagnaProve improves flow rate turndown and cycle times significantly. Its unique magnet-based technology allows for a dramatic reduction in operational drag and achieves prover readings in as little as five seconds, depending on the flow rate. The stainless-steel casing ensures no electromagnetic interference while also preventing contamination from debris, maintaining high-performance accuracy. Maximum working pressure is applicable for temperatures ranging from -20°F to 250°F, and all pressure-containing welds are rigorously tested as per industry standards. This technology is suitable for a variety of metering sites due to its flexibility and durability, delivering reliable performance essential for minimizing measurement errors that could adversely affect profits in high-stakes environments.

MagnaProve - Retro Prover Drive System Retrofit

The MagnaProve Retro by Meter Engineers is a retrofit solution for captive displacement provers that prioritizes cost-efficiency and modernization. Designed to replace outdated or malfunctioning drive assemblies and electronics, the MagnaProve Retro enables continued use of existing prover barrels, typically the most durable yet costly component. This universal drive replacement leverages the advanced MagnaProve technology, adaptable to a wide range of barrel and piston combinations, enhancing the operability and maintenance of provers. The system is available in three sizes to suit various flow rates and barrel sizes. Innovative in design, MagnaProve Retro reduces components, ensuring speedy, reliable operations even in challenging conditions. Its sealed drive assembly mitigates the impacts of contaminants and corrosion, facilitating longer intervals between maintenance tasks and extending the lifespan of moving parts, which can endure millions of cycles. Economically replaceable wear components ensure cost-effective upkeep and future savings, marking it a revolutionary advancement for the industry.
