On-site calibration of flow metering systems installed in buildings. Building science series
This report summarizes the various types of flowmetering devices used in energy management and control systems (EMCS), various methods for their initial calibration and, when practical, techniques for maintaining their calibration while they are in service. Emphasis is placed on the use of transfer reference meter systems, where the working meter is calibrated on site by connecting it in series with a calibrated transfer meter of any variety. Other methods of calibration are also described. Reference tables and the necessary equations for flow calculations are presented throughout the text and in the appendicies. Illustrative examples are given in detail for the calculation of flow using each type of metering device described.
