1) Accuracy under nominal conditions (6 bar, 23 °C and horizontal mounting position)
2) % FS =% of the flow rate range end value (full scale)
3) The accuracy of the zero point and accuracy of the spread together correspond to the accuracy of the flow
rate: accuracy of the flow rate = ± (0.3% FS + 3% o.m.v.). % o.m.v. = % of measured value

Examples for calculating the maximum error of the display
–
Flow rate measuring range: 10 … 1000 l/min (FS = 1000)
–
Measured value: 600 l/min
Spread error (e.g. ±3% FS)
Zero point error
Tab. 13
Spread error and zero point error
The spread error is proportional to the measured value. At 600 l/min, the spread
error is 3% of the measured value = 18 l/min.
The zero point error is independent of the measured value. It is 0.3% FS = 3 l/min.
Display error under nominal conditions (6 bar, 23 °C):
The display error under nominal conditions is the result of adding the spread and
zero point errors. The actual flow rate is in the range of 600 ± (18+3) l/min = 600 ±
21 l/min.
Display error under different nominal conditions (e.g. 8 bar, 40 °C):
Temperature and pressure errors are spread errors. The temperature error at 40 °C
is ±0.1% FS/K x 17 K = ±1.7% of the measured value = ±10.2 l/min.
The pressure error at 8 bar is
±0.5% FS/bar x 2 bar = ±1% of the measured value = ±6 l/min.
The error of the display at deviating nominal conditions results from the addition
of all error values (span, zero point, temperature, pressure). The actual flow rate is
therefore in the range of 600 ± (18+3+10.2+6) l/min = 600 ± 37.2 l/min.
