Flowmeters are commonly used to determine the amount of water that is transferred between different business entities. The performance of many types of flowmeters is influenced by limitations of flowmeter technology, installation, calibration, operation, and maintenance. This article focuses on one aspect of flowmeter performance, straight‐run requirements for accurate flow measurement and the long‐term effect these requirements can have on flow measurement errors.
