MASS FLOW
METER

The role of a surveyor has expanded to involve multiple responsibilities and the use of Mass Flow Meters (MFM). In addition to being independent and impartial, a surveyor must be fully competent in the operation of MFMs, which are complex measurement systems that require attention to various factors.

DATA AND METRICS ANALYSIS

Competency in analysing meter readings and data analytics helps in understanding the co-relation between metrics and operations, as well as identifying irregularities and ensuring system integrity.

ROUTINE INSPECTIONS

Periodic system inspections ensures that the MFM system has not been tampered with, and controls uncertainty within the tolerance limits. Regular inspections reduce negligence, and also allow for early detection of problems, which may lead to dispute claims and a breach of trust.

AUTHENTICATION AND ACCEPTANCE

Independent verification ensures the MFM system maintains its integrity and is fully compliant. Potential problems can also be identified and rectified before it escalates.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Working in tandem with MPA-approved vendors and contractors allows for a repository of best practices of proper measures and troubleshooting to undertake in the event of disputes, system breaches or non-compliance.
