For
verification of secondary standards of 1. and 2. orders
and for testing for type approval of water meters is used
the National Standard of Flowrate of cold and hot
water. It is a gravimetric standard device with
switching flappervalve, with a range of measurement up to
270 m3/h within a temperature range up to
85°C. water meters pattern testing is performed using a
reference standards - volume flow meter with a piston and
a standard electromagnetic inductance flow meter. Pattern testing of flowmeters for technical liquid as well as verification of secondary standards of technical liquids flowrate is performed using a calibrated measuring container and calibrated balance. |

| Pattern testing and verification of meters of medium and large volume of liquid is performed using calibrated measuring containers and geometrical methods. | ||||||||||||||||
