How accurate are peak flow meters?

Frequently Asked Questions
When used correctly, peak flow meters are excellent tools that reflect the state of the child's asthma - but you need to treat the device with respect. Keep it clean, use it as directed, check it frequently for damage, and it will give accurate measurements. However, remember that symptoms are just as important as numbers. In some cases, children can get a good peak flow "score" even when they are having symptoms. If that's the case, make a note of the numbers and talk to your doctor.

How accurate are UV meters?

FAQ UV Light Meters *Phoenix Sun Tanning
Pocket size lamp meters provide a comparative reading, not an absolute reading. They are helpful when comparing original readings to current readings. Each manufacturer calibrates their meter to give you a reading relative to the original calibration. Therefore, each brand will give you different readings. UV meters only read from a small portion of the spectrum of UV light. Different lamp manufacturers design their lamps to emit UV rays from a particular section of the spectrum.

Why will many groundwater permit holders be required to install water meters?

FAQ
Water meters will increasingly be essential for many reasons. We will all benefit from knowing how much water can safely be abstracted from aquifers. To enable adequate management of an aquifer we need to know how much water is going into and being abstracted from the system. The more we know about inflows and outflows the more we can reliably ensure that environmental requirements are met and enable abstractors to have a fair system of access to the available water.

Q. How can I get separate electric and water meters for my existing ADU?

DPD -- FAQ: Permits
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are not usually eligible for separate meters, because they are not recognized as separate, independent dwelling units. An ADU is essentially an accessory use to a single-family dwelling as determined in the Land Use Code. However, ADUs can have separate electrical service as long as the ADU was established by permit, and one of the units is owner-occupied. If the property sells and/or the ADU is discontinued, it may be necessary to reconsolidate the service.

Can these meters also be used with gases other than N2?

Flow meter, mass flow controller, mass flow meter, flowmeter...
All Sierra flow meters are calibrated with N2 unless otherwise specified. The reason is the “K-Factor” for other gases is nearly linear when one goes from N2 to almost any other gas. Other gases scale the signal and generate a slight offset. For each type of gas, this effect can be calculated and compensated by using a relatively simple "K-Factor".

Can these meters be used with flammable gases?

Flow meter, mass flow controller, mass flow meter, flowmeter...
Sierra mass flow systems without the FM approval are not designed for use in hazardous or explosive environments. Do not confuse a “hazardous environment” with flowing gas inside a closed system, such as your plumbing, into pressure and flow measuring instruments. Customers regularly use the 800 series flow meters with flammable gases such as CH4, C2H6, C3H8, and H2 that is plumbed in accordance with proper safety measures.

How accurate are they?

Avian Health Network: PDD FAQ
A presumptive diagnosis of PDD is based on historical information, clinical signs, and radiographic evidence of proventricular dilatation or dysfunction. Confirming that a living bird has PDD is difficult. Biopsy of the ventriculus or proventriculus can be used to diagnose the disease. However, obtaining a biopsy sample from these organs is invasive and dangerous. In some birds, biopsy of the crop can be used to diagnose the disease. - Dr Branson W.

How Accurate is Ultrasound?

The Feline PKD FAQ -- Answers to Frequently Asked Questions ...
In Dr. Biller's study (sometimes referred to as "the Ohio study"), Dr. Biller was able to diagnose cats at 10 months of age with 98% accuracy (as determined by eventual histopathology exams after natural death or euthanasia). Given the many variables in real-world testing (the skill, training and experience of the sonographer; the ultrasound equipment; etc.), my personal opinion is that the real-world accuracy will be somewhat lower -- perhaps in the 90% to 95% range.

How accurate are the heights?

Frequently Asked Questions FAQ Height Article
Celebheights tries to build an accurate database, but you cannot rely on simply using official resumes or actors own declarations of their height, because invariably a good number might embellish the truth. Height in many cases is a best estimate. Even if you meet a star, your own estimate might be off, especially if you don't get within a couple of feet and the difference in your heights is large or you're judging on the street where subtle pavement differences can cause confusion.

How accurate is Daikon?

Daikon FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
The Daikon system examines the values computed during the target program's execution, looking for patterns and relationships among those values. There are two potential problems: missing properties (false negatives), and spurious properties (false positives). False negatives are inevitable, because every tool has a grammar that limits what it can express. Daikon has a relatively simple and broadly applicable grammar.
