In this example, the two measurements for meter no. 7 differ more then 0,1.  A third water 

test is performed. All three differences are within the 0,2 limit, so no futher action needed. 

 

o

 

Based on de water test differences a new 

G

 parameter can be calculated (

Statistical 

Adjustment Calculation

). If the new 

G

 parameter differs more then 5 (meaning >2% 

deviation and adjustment), two additional water tests for that specific meter are 
required after the adjustment of G in order to set references (in this example meter 
4). 

o

 

Set de new 

G

 parameter in the  individual meter using the 

G

 adjustment procedure 

(see links below) 

 
For meter no. 4 the adjustment is more than 2% and two new water tests are needed. 
In this example the new water test looks like: 
 

 

 

To adjust the 

parameter valua follow the procedure in paragrap

Adjusting “G” and/or 

“H” parameter value

 or via the AfiControl interface mentioned in paragraph 

Adjusting the 

“G” and/or “H” parameter value via communication

. 

 
For the periodic routine test,  the following results, following this example,  have to be 

handed over to the persons/organizations  involved in routine testing (reference values for 
the next annual routine test : 

 
Form with the calculated reference values for the annual routine test based on the 

calibration test.
