where c is the average speed of sound in water, and Temp Correction is a Section Parameter.
These formulae apply only to fresh water at low pressure.
At 10 Bar Pressure:
The flowmeter will indicate 0.6F (0.3C) high at near freezing, and 1.4F (0.8C) high at 90F (30C).
At a Salinity of Sea Water (35 Parts / Thousand):
The flowmeter will indicate 19F (10C) high at near freezing, and 30F (17C) high at 90F (30C).
