Prove-enable Error Code
This code reports the result of the most recent attempt to enable a prove. If the
code is zero, the prove was successfully enabled; a non-zero code reports the
reason for failure. The values are:
Value
Name Description
0
The new prove has been enabled The new prove has been enabled
21
Requested meter number
The Requested meter number (register 65300) is out
of range, or, for a master meter prover, is the same
as that of the master meter (an attempt to self-prove
the master meter)
22
Line meter not liquid pulse
At the present time, the meter to be proved may only
be a liquid pulse meter.
23
Incompatible measurement
standard
At the present time, the configuration of both the
prover and the line meter to be proved must specify
the same system of measurement units (US, SI) and
the same liquid density units selection (kg/m3, Rd/60,
°API).
24
Unimplemented product group
Because of the nature of the proving calculations at
the present time, not all product groups are provable.
Meters configured for these product groups are
provable:
Liquid (crude oils and JP4)
Liquid (refined products: gasolines, jet fuels, fuel
oils, except JP4)
Liquid (NGLs and LPGs)
Liquid (lubricating oils)
Liquid
(special
applications)
Meters configured for these product groups are not
provable:
Gas
Liquid (oil-water emulsion of crudes)
Liquid (oil-water emulsion of NGLs)
25
Unimplemented measured
quantity
At the present time, only pulse meters whose pulse
train represents gross volume can be proved.
28
Line meter in calibration
The meter to be proved has at least one process
input in calibration mode. Ensure that all process
inputs are live before attempting to prove the meter.
29
Line meter not enabled
The meter to be proved is not enabled.
32
Master meter not liquid pulse
At the present time, a master meter prover must be a
liquid pulse meter.
33
Master meter incompatible
configuration
For a master meter prover, both the line meter and
the master meter must be compatibly configured,
including identical settings of:
System of measurement units (US, SI)
Liquid density units (kg/m3, Rd/60, °API)
Product
group
Measured quantity (gross volume pulses)
Reference conditions (base temperature and
pressure)
API calculation options (selection of density,
temperature, and pressure corrections)
For product group 8, Special applications, the
coefficient of thermal expansion Alpha
