Abstract This study presents a method to determine the operation of measuring equipment by analyzing metrological quality and degradation accuracy, depending on accumulated volume installation time. Different types counters at three flow rates were tested assess evolution relative error average curves rate deterioration. The apparent losses caused inaccuracies meters was also calculated. result...
