SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the impact of increased pressure on the accuracy of a flowmeter calibrated for 25 psi when the pressure is raised to 50 psi. It is established that the flowmeter will not provide accurate readings at the new pressure without a correction factor, as it is specifically calibrated for 25 psi. The type of flowmeter used will determine the extent of the deviation, and users must refer to the manual for calibration procedures, although in this case, the flowmeter is not adjustable for higher pressures.
