CCM.FF-K2 package
Procedure of CCM.FF-K2
- Flow meters - PD and turbine meter (4 & 3)
measurements at the same time
- Viscosity range 1 to 10 mm2/s (cSt)
Used viscosities between 1.51 to 4.32 mPa/s
- Test with and without straightener
- Flow rates between 5 and 30 l/s (79 - 475
gal/min [US])
- One cardinal point at Reynolds 100000

Conclusion / considerations
- Metrology is an art, and can be learned
- Take every
y input
p p
parameter seriously
y
(sensitivity study)
- Perform a metrological design review. (Even
existing applications)
- Don
Dontt forget to evaluate the measurement
accuracy and uncertainty of the application
