Scope

This part of ISO 7278 provides guidance for the design, installation and calibration of pipe provers. Calculation techniques for use when calibrating and operating provers are detailed in ISO 4267-2.
Most of the material in this part of ISO 7278 is general in that it applies to pipe provers for use with different liquids and types of meters and for proving them in different services. This part of ISO 7278 does not apply to the newer "small volume" or "compact" provers.
The standard reference conditions for petroleum measurement are a temperature of 15°C and a pressure of 101 325 Pa as specified in ISO 5024.
NOTE - In some countries other reference temperatures are used, e.g. 20°C and 60°F.
