Flow Rate Curve
The equation of the flow rate curve (in liters per minute) versus the
flowmeter flow height (in mm) established at standard Millipore
temperature and pressure is:
Q
= Ah² + Bh + C

Where:
Q
: Volumetric flow rate (in liters per minute) at the standard pressure

and temperature (1000 mbars, 20°C)
h:
Flowmeter float height (in mm)
A, B and C: Constants specific to each calibration kit
Calculating the Flow Rate
Below is an example of a typical calculation:
Your measurement conditions:
■ Atmospheric pressure: 1030 mbars
■ Temperature: 15°C
Determine the air density ratio:
