PROCESS METHODS
Flow measurements are accomplished by flowing calibration fluid through the part being tested at a precise pressure and measuring the mass flow rate using a Coriolis meter placed downstream. Compensations for pressure and temperature are performed so that the displayed measurements correspond to specified measurement conditions.

As an option, backpressure (up to 7 MPa) can be generated to meet measurement requirements (for instance, to avoid cavitation issues or to characterize part geometry more completely). While pressures above 0.17 MPa downstream of the part can be controlled automatically, downstream pressures below 0.17 MPa depend on the Coriolis meter that is being used.

The minimum flow rate for each meter is chosen to give a small maximum error. The maximum flow rate for each meter is chosen to give a maximum pressure drop of about 0.17 MPa. In the event the pressure drop is too high, the next larger meter should be used.
