The cryogenic measurement accuracy of better than 0.5% certified by NMi exceeds the maximum permissible error of 1.5% for cryogenic applications. This level of accuracy is achieved by patent-pending algorithms and advanced meter design that mitigate the dynamic relationships between supercold process fluids, highly sensitive measurement technologies, and carefully selected materials of construction.
