Flow Calibration
Subject to change without notice
The FWME is calculated by the test labs according to the equation:
If the meter is calibrated for bidirectional use, a second weighted mean error (FWME) is
determined using the values established separately for each direction of flow.
The new adjust factor is calculated as follows:
The error curve "Dev.as found" shows the deviation of the tested meter (FLOWSIC600)
relative to the test stand (Reference meter(s)) without any correction of the FLOWSIC600
output behavior (
Figure 19). The error curve "Dev. as left" shows the deviation of the
FLOWSIC600 after correction with the Adjust factor.
