Adjustments 

The FMQ normally needs no calibration adjustment. 
 
Usually,  the  zero  point 

adjustment  (“

ZERO  adjust

”)  is  carried  out  only  during  the  first 

commissioning. 
 

If,  however,  some  deviations  have  to  be  compensated  for  which  were  determined  when  
comparing with a calibration vessel or a balance it is possible to make an adjustment using the 

m spe

” value. 

 
However, before you will start carrying out an adjustment on the meter it is best to answer the 
following questions first: 

  Are  you  sure  that  the  reference  standard  (reference  meter,  balance,  or  calibrated  vessel) 

does really deliver an exactly comparative value? 

  Is  there  repeatability  in  the  data  that  is  being  created,is  the  difference  the  same  from 

measurement to measurement? 

Take into account that differently emptying pipelines, a missing break-off edge for the liquid 

or temporary air occlusions will lead to faulty results during the measurement! 

  Is there a possibilty that any of the liquid being measured is not making it to the reference 

either through a leak or diversion point? 

  Is the liquid clean and free of any air or gas? 

  Are the flow rate used within the limits of the meter? 

  Is the conductivity of the product within the required tolerance? 

An  adjustment  is  only  reasonable  if  repeatable  deviations  have  been  measured  during  the 
comparative measurements. 
 
 

 

Adjustment by calibration factor "m spe" 

The adjustment by the calibration factor “

m spe

” can be set using the optional display. 

 

The factory set value is  1.0000 

 
The calibration factor is calculated by means of the following formula:
