HERMAN HOFSTEDE Sales Director, KROHNE Oil & Gas
Started his career at the Dutch Weights and Measures (NMi) were he was involved in National Approvals of flow meters used for Liquid Custody Transfer applications. Joined the largest independent inspection company involved in training, auditing, inspecting and calibrating on-site proving facilities, most of them based on ball provers. Joined KROHNE as a Product Manager for Custody Transfer Ultrasonic flow meters and represented KROHNE in several API committees. Presently responsible for global international sales for KROHNE Oil & Gas. Experience of 35 years in Custody transfer measurement

API MPMS Ch. 4.8 Annex B Method for determining the Frequency of Calibrating Provers
• Calculation based on following variables:
• Percent change in meter performance between two calibrations (Pf)
• Number of months (Mn) between calibrations
• Benchmark (0.06 % or less)
• Using following formula for calculating the Months to Next Calibration (MNC):
• MNC = [(Mn) x 0.06) / (Pf)]
