What could have cause this to differ in flow?
Our waste water centrifugal pump is discharging water at a normal rate, there is an installed flow meter on the upstream of the waste water disposal approximately 15 feet away from the pump discharge and the flow rate is 225 gpm.
On the downstream of the waste water line that goes into the injection well, 9.6 miles away, we also have another flow meter installed. The reading that I am getting on the downstream flow meter is 166 gpm.
I have both flow meter calibrated but the readings are far apart of each other. What could have cause this uncertainty in meter reading?
The downstream meter location is 9.6 miles away from the pump with an elevation of 1000 ft. The upstream location had a site elevation of 1330 ft. The pipe is a 6 inch carbon steel.
