Uncertainty




Flow measurement uncertainty is estimated using ASME PTC 19.1, and values are dependent on the test line. A generic statement of an uncertainty of 0.2% is used as a conservative guideline. When specific meters are calibrated, the test data may be used to estimate the actual uncertainty.  Best uncertainties are listed below for each weigh tank and the secondary standard.
