Gives guidance to assist in estimating the flowrate when using pressure differential devices constructed or operated outside the scope of BS 1042 : Section 1.1. It should not be implied that additional tolerances or corrections can necessarily compensate for the effects of deviating from the standard. The information is given, in the first place, to indicate the degree of care necessary in the manufacture, installation and maintenance of pressure difference devices and in the second place, to permit those users who may not be able to comply fully with the requirements to assess, however roughly, the magnitude and direction of the resulting errors.
