If liquids have viscosity’s >15 cs (water = 1 cs), the flat orifice and plunger type control mechanism cannot be
used. For measuring systems only check maximum possible viscosity with factory.
4.6 Calibration procedure
All instruments are factory calibrated. For re-calibration or re-ranging contact supplier or factory.
