(additional testing requirements: multiple pressures, bi-directional flow, etc.)

 

Notes:

The MRF has a limited amount of piping and flow conditioners available to use for testing/calibration. If piping requirements cannot be met with the MRF in-house piping, the piping must be provided by the customer. Alternatively, piping can be fabricated by the MRF at the customer's expense.

 

Meters, electronics, and piping should be packaged/crated to withstand both shipping and handling during the trip to the MRF as well as the return trip to the client. The MRF will assist with shipping arrangements, but the client is responsible for all shipping costs.

 

Tests are scheduled on a first-come basis. Schedule availability fluctuates depending on the time of year. The MRF tries to accommodate all client-requested test dates, but in some cases overtime billing may be required to meet a client's schedule.

 

To find out how the Metering Research Facility can assist you with flow measurement, meter development, calibration, testing, and training, or how you can contract with Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), please contact Terry Grimley at tgrimley@swri.org or (210) 522-2353.
