What is Flow Meter Calibration? Procedure of Calibration

Description:

Flowmeter calibration is the procedure of adjusting a flow meter’s metering to standard metering and then comparing that to the appropriate standard. Most flow meter manufacturers typically only calibrate their devices in-house once the production or shipments have finished. If a manufacturer wants to continue selling their meters after they have gone through the calibration procedure, they can do so by recalibrating them. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

What is Flow Meter Calibration?
Flowmeter calibration is the procedure of
adjusting a flow meters metering to standard
metering and then comparing that to the
appropriate standard. Most flow meter
manufacturers typically only calibrate their
devices in-house once the production or shipments
have finished. If a manufacturer wants to
continue selling their meters after they have
gone through the calibration procedure, they can
do so by recalibrating them. There are also
some types of flow meters that can go through a
self-calibrating process when first purchased,
although these types of flow meters do not come
with an option to recalibrate them. There are
several best practices for flow meter
calibration. One of the best practices for flow
meter calibration involves running the
calibration procedure from a computer for those
using a USB flow meter. There are many types of
computer programs available today that allow a
user to run the calibration procedure.

Flow Meter Calibration
  • The best practice for calibration of these meters
    is to make sure they are calibrated before being
    installed in a manufacturing factory. Once
    installed, they will need calibration from time
    to time, especially as they get older and begin
    to show wear. You want to do so before installing
    your new meters to turn off the power to the
    device, so it does not get any electric power.
  • You also want to turn off the power at the
    circuit breaker box so that no one accidentally
    turns the power back on during the installation
    process. In addition, you want to turn off the
    mains during the installation process, so the
    meter does not get damaged during the process.
  • Many new flow meters will come with a built-in
    calibration device. This is especially true of
    the newer models, which typically have a small
    light bulb used to indicate when the flow rate is
    calibrated. To make this easy for the user, many
    flowmeter manufacturers have created what is
    called the FPR-1. This is a very tiny LED that
    flashes when the flow rate has been calibrated.
    This is a good indication that the flowmeter has
    been calibrated, and the flow rate is what it
    should be.

You may also want to use an external flow meter.
These types of flow meters can be easily removed
so you can recalibrate the device. There are
many different types of external flow meters on
the market today, and you can shop online to find
the one that works best for you. Once you have
the external unit, it is good to turn off the
power to the device so that there is no
possibility of damage occurring.
