When entering K factors in controllers and/or data recorders please refer to the manufacturer’s
recommendations—some will require the number of gallons per pulse and others will require
the number of pulses per gallon. Some manufacturers will require a “K” and “offset” (for all
Netam USA Water Meters the offset = 0) where the K and offset are calculated using he fol-
lowing equation:
Freq = (GPM/K) – offset
Where:
Freq = pulse/second
GPM = gallons per minute
K = unit less constant specic to each hydrometer pulse output
Offset = correction factor (All Netam USA water meters have an offset = 0)
or:
K = 60/(pulse/gallon)
