Patent-family-84569714

A method determines a fluid pressure at a fluid flow meter installed in a pipe network that is supplied with fluid at a varying and/or variable input pressure. The method includes recording input pressure information for a determination of a difference between input pressures in a first considered time-window and second considered time-window, aggregating statistical data of a plurality of fluid flow events and/or fluid volume consumption events during the first considered time-window and the second considered time-window, providing the aggregated statistical data to a head-end system (HES) that has access to the input pressure information and determining, by the head-end system, a fluid pressure at the fluid flow meter based on a change in the aggregated statistical data between the first considered time-window and the second considered time-window, and the difference between the input pressures in the first considered time-window and the second considered time-window.
