Abstract
Techniques for operating a static fluid meter are described herein. In an example, a sampling interval is identified. The sampling interval is a period of time within which an electromagnetic or acoustic device measures or samples a rate of the fluid flow. The sampling interval may be approximately 1 second long; however, the interval may be longer or shorter depending on the design requirements of a particular system. A random number is generated and/or received. A sampling time within the sampling interval may be determined based at least in part on the random number. By sampling at a different and randomly determined location within each of a series of sampling intervals a more accurate fluid measurement may be obtained.
