Flow Metrology Solutions

High-accuracy gas flowmeters are currently used on the gas pipeline for ensuring fair trading between producers, operators and consumers. These meters require regular calibration at pressures between 20-100 bars.

Due to a lack of appropriate calibration facilities in Australia, these meters are therefore sent overseas. This results in major interruption to associated businesses, damage to the flowmeter during transport and can be costly.

The cost of building a calibration facility in Australia exceeds AUD100MM. This project proposes to build alternative metering and calibration technologies that are cost-effective, minimise risk to meters and reduce interruption to business operations.
