When a Brodie meter reads 1005 gal, what should you do to adjust the reading?

When a Brodie meter reads 1005 gallons, the appropriate action to adjust the reading involves understanding how the fine knob works to calibrate the measurement accurately. If the meter is reading above the expected value, pulling the fine knob out will decrease the reading by a calibrated amount per groove.

In this scenario, pulling the fine knob out two grooves signifies a deliberate move to bring the reading back down closer to the true value, which corrects the over-reading observed at 1005 gallons. This adjustment ensures that the measurement reflects the actual volume of liquid passing through the meter, thus maintaining accuracy in fluid measurement and accounting for any calibration discrepancies.

This method of calibration is essential for operators to ensure that they provide precise measurements of fluid usage or consumption in various applications, ensuring operational integrity.
