Coriolis mass flowmeter(CMF), which can measure the mass flow directly, is getting rapid attention for the industrial and custody transfer purpose. In order to study the characteristics and the applicability of CMF, it is tested with the national flow standard system. Two types of sensing tube, U-type and straight type, are employed in the test. Water, spindle oil and viscosity Standard Reference Material whose viscosities are 1, 20 and, 67 $\textrm{mm}^2$/s, respectively, are studied. It is shown that the linearity of CMF is getting deteriorated as the fluid viscosity increases, which is due to the zero drift and the relaxation time of the fluid. To test its applicability in the case of high pressured gas, it is calibrated using compressed air, It shows 1∼l.6 % deviations compared to the calibration results using water. It concludes that the fluid velocity in CMF should be lower than the sonic velocity. In addition, the effects of the vibration from the pipeline and pump on CMF as well as the long term stability are studied.

유체의 전도율(conductivity)이 전자기유량계의 특성에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위해 소형 전자기 유량계를 설계 제작하였다. 유량계의 측정관(measuring tube)은 $4mm{\times}3mm$의 직사각형 단면을 가지며 길이는 9 mm이다. 전극은 직경이 1.5 mm인 점전극과 단면이 $2mm{\times}3mm$인 면전극으로 설계하였다. 코일의 열 발생에 영향을 미치는 자화주파수, 회전수 및 굵기를 변화시키면서 최적값을 찾았다. 최적화된 측정관은 자속밀도(magnetic flux density) 0.04 T (400 gauss)를 발생시키며 안정되고, 선형적인 유량신호를 얻을 수 있었다. 유량계를 특성을 평가하기 위해 중량식 유량계 교정 장치를 제작하였다. 유동율 범위는 최대 $1.17{\times}10^{-5}m^3/s$(700 cc/min)이며 ISO규격에 따라 유동량 결정의 불확도를 평가하였으며 크기는 0.06 % 이내이었다. 유체의 전도율은 $3-11{\mu}S/cm$ 사이에서 조절하였다.

Diverter is an essential element in gravimetric calibration method of flowmeter. Error of diverter are influenced by flow velocity profile of nozzle outlet, motion velocity of diverter and detecting location. That's why, time detection position of diverter is tuned through repetitive test for minimizing error of diverter. Further the diverter must be compared with the other institutions test since the influence on the accuracy of the flow meter used in the test. In this paper, errors (flow velocity profile of nozzle outlet, motion velocity of diverter and detecting location) of diverter are decreased by produced uni-direction diverter and error of gravimetric calibration system is decreased. Uni-direction diverter is calibrated by gravimetric calibration system with precision flowmeter, the flowmeter is calibrated by pipe prover and other institutions and uni-direction diverter is evaluated. Uni-direction diverter is not influenced by flow velocity profile of nozzle outlet, motion velocity of diverter and detecting location. As a result, Uni-direction diverter can calibrate in wider scope since increasing ratio of maximum and minimum flow rate of uni-direction diverter.

강우량을 측정하는데 있어서 전도형 및 중량형 강수량계가 전 세계적으로 오랫동안 사용되어 지고 있다. 그러나 종래의 강수량계는 관측오차와 자체 분해능의 한계로 인해 측정범위가 제한되는 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서 제안된 강수량계는 유량측정을 통해 강수량을 환산하는 원리를 최초로 적용하였으며, 개발된 모델을 국가공인교정기관(KOLAS)에서 표준교정시스템을 이용하여 실내실험을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 본 연구에서 개발된 강수량계는 실험조건에서 설정한 20~420 mm/H의 강우강도 구간에 걸쳐 ${\pm}2%$의 오차율을 나타냈고, 종래 대비 보다 정확하고 신뢰성 있는 측정이 가능함을 보였다.

A national standard system was developed in order to calibrate and test the oil flowmeters for the petroleum field. A stop valve and a gyroscopic weighing scale were employed for the primary standard of the flow quantity. It is operated by the standing start and finish mode and the static weighing method. The model equation for uncertainty evaluation was based on the calibration principle of standard system. The sources of the uncertainties were quantified and combined according to the GUM(Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement). It was found that the standard system had the relative expanded uncertainty of 0.04 % in the range of 18 - 350 ㎥/ｈ. According to the uncertainty budget, the uncertainties of the fluid density and the volume of pipeline, which were temperature dependent, contributed 92% of final uncertainty in the oil flow standard system.
