Abstract
A closed loop system for the calibration of a multiphase meter, such as a multiphase flow meter or water cut meter, and a method of employing the system in calibration of multiphase meters in crude oil production processes. The system includes an oil and water separation vessel, oil and water flow meters, valves, pumps, and a single phase calibration unit. The system employs a two-step calibration process. First internal single phase oil and water meters are calibrated using the single phase calibration unit; subsequently multiphase meter calibration is achieved using the two precalibrated single phase flow meters.
