Correcting the characteristic "as found" calibration curve
The characteristic "as found" curve may be corrected using a factor dependent on the
direction of flow (AF
forward
, AF
reverse
). In addition, a zero offset (ZO) may be entered. A
meter functioning correctly should have a zero offset of 0.
The calculation of the factors is based on the weighted mean error (WME, equivalent to
OIML recommendation no.137-1).
For Q
i
> 0.9 Q
max
a weighted factor of 0.4 should be used instead of 1 (OIML 137-1).
The corresponding factor is then calculated as follows:
The result of the volumetric flow calculation is stored in register #7001 "VolumeFlow".
