The proof of a meter is the percent registration found when the meter is tested. A proof of 100 percent indicates the meter is accurate. A proof less than 100 percent indicates the meter is fast (+) and registers more volume than actually passed through the meter. A proof of more than 100 percent indicates the meter is slow (−) and registers less volume than actually passed through the meter.
