Contracting with FMC for preventive maintenance and regular system audits is a proven way to ensure the accuracy of custody transfer operations. During scheduled site visits we check flow meters and prover loops, quality analysis systems, and instrument and control loops.

We also review and check meter factor tracking files, meter proving reports, instrument calibration procedures and reports, and prover calibration reports. We run linearity checks, meter factor calculation checks, flow totalization calculation checks and system uncertainty calculations. We adjust and calibrate mechanical and electrical metering system components and replace worn out or defective parts to ensure that the system meets applicable standards.

FMC engineers conduct Measurement Best Practices audits of operations and maintenance procedures, evaluate software performance, and recommend upgrades. Our engineers can also audit customers' spare parts inventory and recommend changes to reduce the cost of potential downtime. FMC audits assure customers that systems are operating correctly - and they also provide specific suggestions for necessary improvements.
