Description

One embodiment provides a method for operating a flow meter diagnostic tool. The diagnostic tool interfaces with the flow meter sensor assembly, and the basic proofer volume (BPV) is input to the diagnostic tool. A desired number of passes is input to the diagnostic tool for each run. Flow meter data is received, and the estimated total test time (TPT) required to pass a predetermined reproducibility requirement is calculated. The estimated minimum number of runs required to obtain the calculated TPT is calculated. The standard deviation of the flow meter sensor assembly flow rate (σ) is calculated, and the number of samples used to calculate σ is determined. The meter specific coefficient (MSF) is calculated.
