Understanding SMV results
When the SMV test is completed, the result is reported as Pass, Fail, or Abort. (Some tools report the Fail
result as
Advisory
instead.)
Pass
Smart Meter Verification does a statistical check between the factory baseline value, field reference
point, and the current Smart Meter Verification result. Pass indicates that the two values are
statistically the same.
Fail
The current SMV value is statistically different than the factory baseline value.
•
If the meter passes the second test, the first result can be ignored.
•
If the meter fails the second test, the flow tubes may be damaged or coated. Use your process
knowledge to determine the possibilities for damage and the appropriate actions for each. These
actions might include removing the meter from service and physically inspecting the tubes. At
minimum, you should perform a flow validation and a density calibration.
Abort
A problem occurred with the meter verification test (such as process instability) or you stopped the
test manually. See
for a list of abort codes, a description of each code, and possible
actions you can take in response.

Recommended actions
1
User-initiated abort
None required. Wait 15 seconds before starting another test.
2
SMV Timeout
Check status of pickoff and drive coils.
3
Pickoff Voltage Low
Check status of pickoff and drive coils.
4
Temperature unstable
Ensure temperature is stable. Start again.

7
Drive loop AGC reported an
amplitude error
Check the status of the pickoff and the drive coils.
8
High flow (dt) standard deviation
Reduce the flow rate and start again.
9
