Hot commissioning
The hot commissioning is in most cases the last test of the UFM and can be witnessed by a
representative of the client and, if required, by an inspector of weights and measures for the
official sealing. Under this condition there is process gas in the pipe and a flow test is being
performed. The performance, AGC Levels/Limits and zero flow are checked again. If
possible, the gas flow running through the UFM will be compared to another flowmeter in
the line. Most UFM are calibrated gas flow meters, so the measured value is reliable
without exception. Furthermore, the interaction with the flow computer can be tested.
