    Installation & operation manual the alignment of the impeller with the flow in the pipe is accomplished by aligning the two “sight holes” at the top of the sensor tube assembly with the center line of the pipe. Make sure the alignment is made to the pipe and not to a wall or surface near the sensor....

  • Page 9: Calibration

    Installation & operation manual calibration badger meter sensors use unique k and offset numbers for calibration. These numbers are derived from calibration runs using nist traceable instruments. Using both a k and an offset number provides higher accuracy than using a k (pulse/gal) factor alone. K ...
