Even if the manufacturer of the flow meter told me: "We put 1,200 kg minimum on the face plate but it might work okay at a lower rate" I still would not trust that result. If you want someone to pay $89 million based on a technical evaluation, you must make it highly professional. All instruments must be within specification, with extensive cross-checking. The procedures have to be strictly according to ASME textbooks. You cannot use an instrument that is sorta-maybe-might-be within spec but the manufacturer's own face plate says it isn't. - Jed
