  • Isolation valves installation
  • Pipe routing to minimize turbulence
  • Safety features

🎯 Stage 3: Field Calibration and Accuracy Testing

We calibrate against a master meter in compliance with Trade Measures standards. ![Calibration process bubble]

  • Multiple test runs at different flow rates
  • Error correction factors applied

📈 Why Accurate Flow Meter Calibration Matters

  • Minimizes fuel losses and revenue leakage
  • Ensures compliance with legal metrology standards
  • Builds trust with clients through traceable records

🧠 Takeaway

Accurate flow meter calibration isn’t just a compliance requirement—it’s a business enabler. At Parkvan Calibration, our engineered process from fabrication to calibration ensures your road tanker metering system performs to the highest standard.
