Operation & Maintenance
OPERATION
The FlowVis® is factory-calibrated to be extremely accurate across its full operating range. Any perceived 'inaccuracy'
is related to the viewing angle at which the scale is being read. To avoid so-called 'parallax error', it is important to
position your eye so that you are looking squarely at the tip of the indicator arm. To achieve this, simply move your
head so that you just lose sight of the vertical leading edge of the red arm.
