K-Factor
K-factors represent the number of pulses the transmitter outputs per cubic centimeter (or
other engineering unit) of fluid passing through the flow meter. This number is dependent on
the flow meter - transmitter combination. MAX indicators can be adjusted to display the
desired flow engineering units (ccs, lbs, gallons, quarts, etc.) by using the K-factor.
Flow meters are individually multi-point calibrated at the factory and a graph of the K-factor
(which varies slightly with flow rate) provided to the customer. A typical calibration sheet is
shown below.
