The study investigated the uncertainty of CMF for LNG mass flowrate measurement, evaluating the Young's modulus of stainless steel 316 and finding a corrected value with smaller uncertainty at cryogenic temperature. The expanded uncertainty of a CMF for LNG flowrate measurement is estimated to be 0.50%, with the dominating component being the uncertainty of the corrected Young's modulus at cryogenic temperature.
The uncertainty of Coriolis mass flowmeter (CMF) has been investigated for liquefied natural gas (LNG) mass flowrate measurement. The expanded uncertainty of the Young's modulus of stainless steel 316 measured by NIST is evaluated to be 1.90%, taking into consideration the lot-to-lot variability of the material. We have shown that the corrected Young's modulus value at cryogenic temperature (120 K) has a smaller expanded uncertainty of 0.47%, through calibration of the CMF using traceable water calibration facility and a correction term to compensate the Young's modulus change from ambient to cryogenic temperature of 120 K. We have evaluated other mass flowrate measurement uncertainty factors including thermal expansion, pressure correction effect, temperature measurement, zero stability and meter repeatability. The expanded uncertainty of a CMF for LNG flowrate measurement is estimated to be 0.50% with the uncertainty coverage factor k = 2. The dominating component is from the uncertainty of the corrected Young's modulus for stainless steel at cryogenic temperature. This uncertainty analysis shows that a CMF can provide very accurate mass flowrate measurement for LNG custody transfer.
