MVI56E-AFC ♦ Version 4.04 Meter Factor 14 Configuring Meter Factors Meters may begin to wear out over time and the actual measured volume (the "gross volume") will tend to drift from the nominal measured volume (the "indicated volume"). The factor that corrects "indicated" to "gross" is called the "meter factor", and is a number very close to 1.
Page 102 (Since flow rate depends on the meter factor according to API, but meter factor depends on flow rate according to the linearization table, the MVI56E-AFC performs a second iteration of the interpolation in order to obtain an accurate meter factor).
