3.6.1 How to measure totalised flows (manually)
The basic measurement indicated on the FLOW READING screen is the instantaneous flow rate, which in some
applications may vary over a period of time. Average flow rates are therefore often required in order to get a
better understanding of an application’s true performance. This is simply achieved by noting the total flow over a
specific period (for example 30-60 minutes) and then calculating the average flow rate over that period of time.

Note: the totalisers begin to count up as soon as

11. Scroll down and select Exit to return to the FLOW
READING screen which will now indicate the
instantaneous flow together with the totalised flow.
Note that in some installation the measured flow
can be in either direction. Where this is the case
the upstream flow is shown separately in the –
Total field.
