n: a device used to determine the accuracy of a meter. Two popular types are pipe provers and open tank provers. A pipe prover has a calibrated pipe that contains a known volume. A sphere displaces oil or liquid product through the pipe while the meter being proved registers the amount of oil or liquid displaced. The meters reading is then compared to the known volume in the pipe. An open tank prover is a calibrated tank that contains a known volume. Oil or liquid product is put into the tank while the meter being proved registers the amount. The meters reading is then compared to the known volume in the tank.
