DP Meter Diagnostic Systems – Operator Experience
Abstract/Introduction-
In this paper, first field tests of Prognosis were carried out by BPCATS and ConocoPhillips TGT and reported to the NSFMW in 2010 by Skelton et al [3]. Since thenPrognosis has been further developed and applied in the field to orifice and Venturi meters by severaloperators. This paper describes these developments and the field experience of these operators.

Lies, Damn Lies, and the Statistics of Data Fitting, NSFMW 2017
Abstract/Introduction-
This papaer describes about the Different linearization techniques can be chosen that subtly modify flow meter output without necessarily violating any contract, standard, or accepted norm. If linearization techniques are not fully disclosed then in reality the end user does not know the true flow rate prediction uncertainty of that meter across its flow range. This is a particular concern with the modern trend for flow metering systems to be supplied as a complete package, meter, sensors, and computer inclusive as embedded parts. Whereas such systems offer many advantages, not least the plug and play ease of use, they also tend to have embedded processors.
