www.flowcalculator.com [ Return to Top ] 7. Q: How are flowmeter accuracy rates stated? A: The accuracy of flowmeters, and other instruments, is usually stated as either a % of full scale (FS) or a % of reading. It is important to understand the meaning of each as they represent very different numbers. A flowmeter with a velocity accuracy of 1% FS and a range of 20 ft. per second (fps) would have an error of ± 0.2 fps throughout the operating range. At 1 fps this flowmeter has an error of 0.2 fps or 20% of reading. It is only at 20 fps that this flowmeter actually performs to an accuracy of 1%.A flowmeter with its velocity accuracy expressed as 1% percent of reading with the same 20 fps operating range will have an accuracy of 1% regardless of the actual velocity.[ Return to Top ] 8. Q: Why are non-contact open channel flow sensors preferred by most users versus submerged style flow sensors? A: The non-contact sensor eliminates accuracy problems inherent with submerged sensors includin
