Prover Accessories and Trim: 1. External paint, heat trace and Insulation 2. Drain valves, block & bleed type or Arrangement 3. Vent valves 4. Pressure gauges 5. Thermometers 6. Pressure relief valves 7. Pressure and temperature transmitters 8. Field calibration connections 9. Sphere by-pass for vertical or Inclined launch chambers 10. Skid mounted Weamco always specifies and uses high quality accessories and trim equipment. VII. Calibration Prior to placing a prover into service, a base prover volume must be determined. This is done by a water-draw calibration as outlined in API Chapter 4, Section 9, as previously mentioned, and calculations per API Chapter 12, Section 2 Part 4. The calibration also verifies that all components are sealing properly and are in working condition. In particular the 4-way diverter valve. The calibration is completed using field measures, thermometers, and gauges that are traceable to NIST, per API Chapter 4.7.
