Why EuroLoop-Liquid

• Limited capacity for calibrations • Demand for higher flow rates

with hydrocarbons in Europe
(Netherlands)
• Existing Installations could not
always meet the requirements
for modern flow meters
 Located in Rotterdam's
industrial hart close to
local customers and
well accessible for
customers abroad

What makes Euroloop Liquid special

Diameters
• Large prover 1100 [mm] • Volumes 6 & 23,7 [m3]
• Small Prover 600 [mm] max. 0,007 % uncertainty

• The biggest horizontal Piston • Prover Volumes made traceable

Provers in the world 46 & 36 [m] to national standards verified by
(Dutch Metrology Institute)
 Unique

Quality Control

• Frequent leaktesting of metrological sections

and Piston seals in situ
• Intercomparisson tests with other labs as part
of RvA approval
• Regular Product Sampeling
• Software validation tool devolopped for Hycal
(parameter check)
• Preventive inspections and leaktest of Piston
Seals in removable cylinder section
Applications
