The pressure drop curves are valid for fluids with density and viscosity similar to factory test fluids . Fluids, especially with
higher viscosity than theses test fluids, will yield a higher pressure drop through the flow meter and piping system per a given
flow volume .
A system must have adequate fluidic horsepower available to move the system fluid at a prescribed rate at a pressure
adequate to overcome all pressure reducing devices, including the flow meter .
