Interesting. The secondary circuit flow meter can be read at the
end of the test here:

I read the meter as 13.1403 m^3, or 1314.3 liters. Given the test
lasted 526 minutes that is 1314.3 liter/(536 min.) = 2.45 liters/
min = 0.0409 liters per second = 40.9 ml/s.
Strange. The secondary flow rate was given as 178 ml/s, or 10.7
liters/min. In 526 minutes that would be 5628 liters, or 5.62
m^3. It appears the meter began the test at 7.25 m^3.
Hmmm, I read that as 13.1403 m^3 is equal to 13,140.3 liter.
Yes. Thanks! I didn't get much sleep.
Gives you 24.5 liters/min = 0.409 liters per second or 509 ml/s.
I get 13,140.3 liter/(526 min) = 24.98 liter/min = 416 ml/s. Clearly
the meter had a large value on it to start. Also, it was apparently
not recorded before the experiment began.
Kind regards,

Lewan says the meter accumulated a total of 4,554 L from 11:57 to
19:03 (7 hours, 6 minutes; 426 minutes).
With these meters, it is easier to read the accumulated amount
than the instantaneous flow.
Yes. There is no instantaneous flow value on the meter. It was
nonsensical to not simply record the total flows and times.
