Abstract:
A method of measuring fluid using a flow meter having a body with an inlet and outlet, a fluid-driven element within the body which moves in response to fluid flow between the inlet and outlet, a memory storage device and a processor, said method comprising the steps of(a) storing approximately 20 or more single point calibration factors in the memory storage device; (b) correlating each of said single point calibration factors to flow characteristics of a particular fluid flowing at a particular temperature; (c) providing an end user with a list of specific fluids and a corresponding list of the single point calibration factors which correlate to the flow characteristics of each specific fluid at a selected temperature; and (d) providing the end user with means for selecting one of the single point calibration factors for use in calculating, using the processor, fluid flow through the meter.
