Density Effect (Specific Gravity)
Any fluid density change from stated standards has a proportional effect on meter accuracy . Special scales can be supplied if
actual specific gravity decreases accuracy beyond application limits . Corrections for more or less dense fluids can be made to
standard scales using the following correction factors:
1 0 .
Specific Gravity
for water/water-based meters
0 876 .
