Density factors for RFT9739
10.Multiply the meter factor from step 8. This is the mass-flow meter
factor. Record the meter factor. by the first five digits of the current
flow calibration factor. This is the first five digits of the new flow
calibration factor.
11.Open the Configure menu, then choose Characterize to open the
Characterize Sensor dialog box. Enter the new flow calibration factor
in the FlowCal text box. The complete flow calibration factor should
have eight digits and two decimal points.
-
Enter the value from step 10 as the first five digits and first deci-
mal point.
-
For the last three digits and second decimal point, enter the last
three digits and decimal point from the flow calibration factor
entered in step 4.
12.To verify the accuracy of the new flow calibration factor, repeat
step 7. The amount of fluid indicated in the Totalizer Control dialog
box should equal the weighed amount of fluid in the batch, within
accuracy specifications provided by Micro Motion for the flowmeter.
8.3 Density factors for
RFT9739
Density factors describe a particular sensor's density measurement
sensitivity. Testing conducted in the Micro Motion Flow Calibration
Laboratory determines the precise values of the density factors for each
sensor.
The RFT9739 uses six separate factors to calculate density:
•
Dens A
is the density, in grams per cubic centimeter, at line
conditions, of the low-density material used during a two-point
density calibration.
•
Dens B
is the density, in grams per cubic centimeter, at line
conditions, of the high-density fluid used during a two-point density
calibration.
•
K1
is the tube period, in microseconds, adjusted to 0
°
C, when the
flow tubes contain the Dens A calibration fluid at line conditions.
•
K2
is the tube period, in microseconds, adjusted to 0
°
C, when the
flow tubes contain the Dens B calibration fluid at line conditions.
•
FD
(or
K3)
accounts for the effect of high flow rate on the density
measurement, and usually is not required. The FD and K3 factors
can be stored in, and viewed from, the ProLink transmitter
configuration file. The FD or K3 density calibration procedure is
described in
Section 14.4
, page 138.
•
Temp Coeff
, the temperature coefficient for density, represents the
percent change in the elasticity of the flow tubes around the bending
axis, and the corresponding change in tube period, per 100
°
C.
