Abstract

Problems related to metrological assurance of laboratory and continuous petroleum moisture meters and means of verification of the devices, such as state standard samples, dynamic benches, and standard moisture meters are considered. The feasibility of using verification units based on laboratory moisture meters based on the Fisher method is discussed.

Footnotes
1
The terms do not correspond to what is accepted in the foreign literature, where instruments for the measurement of moisture content in gas are referred to as “moisture meters,” while instrument for the measurement of the content of water in petroleum are called “water in crude analyzers.” The terms recommended in [3] will henceforth be used in the present article.
 
2
In the view of the present authors, the translation of the name of this standard is inaccurate. The [Russian] translation of the term, “crude oil” as neft’-syr’e and not syraya neft’ corresponds more accurately to the term, range of application, and essence of the technique.
 
3
Inconsistency of the results obtained using [4] and [5] was only found at laboratories in the period of development of the standard [4], though this inconsistency has decreased or vanished with the accumulation of test data.
 
4
For other types of state standard samples certified by the method of inter-laboratory tests for lack of other information, the mean result obtained following statistical processing is adopted as the real value of the indicator. Basically, this result represents a metrological understanding of the effective value of the indicator and may be very far from the truth [7].
 
5
Moreover, laboratory moisture meters that function according to standard measuring techniques are significantly more independent of the nature of the matrix.
