Flow Meter Calibration
Procedures & Methods
Flow meters subject to Weights&Measures regulations, or
used in systems where the flow rate can fluctuate, should
be tested at minimum, intermediate & maximum flow rates.
In non-W&M service, a flow meter always operating at a
steady flow rate, can be tested at that flow rate only.
All calibration tests should be:
Of at least 60 second duration, to minimize the effect of
flow meter error during start-up and shut-down.
Repeated 3 times to confirm flow meter repeatability.
Flow meters can be calibrated against a prover tank, a pipe
prover or a master meter. Please consult with your distribu-
