The K-Factor is the number of pulses per unit volume produced by the
flowmeter under a given set of conditions. Repeatability is a measure of the
stability of the output under a given set of flowing conditions. The
repeatability is defined as the allowable percentage deviation from the
stated K-Factor.
The pressure drop characteristics are given based on water at a viscosity
of 1 Cpse and a specific gravity of 1.00. For other fluid
