Chapter 4 of “The American Petroleum Institute Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards” offers a guide for the design, installation, calibration, and operation of meter‐proving systems that are commonly used by petroleum operators around the world. The chapter covers Displacement and Tank provers as well as the use of Master Meters to validate measurement systems for custody transfer. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the advantages of the Master Meter proving method in today’s offshore and onshore custody transfer applications.
