3.6.2 Programming the Fluid
The Fluid menu (see Figure 69) allows the user to specify
all the parameters of the fluid flowing through the pipe
that is required to ensure accurate ultrasonic flow rate
measurements. Use steps as in section “Log-in and Primary
Pages” to navigate to the Programming page.
1. Highlight [Composite] and press [ENTER]. Scroll down,
highlight [Fluid] and press [ENTER].
2. Highlight [Density], press [ENTER] and program the
actual density [Density (Act)] and reference density
[Density (Ref)] of the process fluid.
3. Then highlight [Kinematic Viscosity], press [ENTER] and
program the kinematic viscosity of the process fluid.
4. Then highlight the [Tracking] option. The tracking
window is used to scan through the speed of sound
range programmed to detect the signal when the
user is unsure of the fluid sound speed. The meter also
supports a list of standard fluid types. If the process fluid
is not listed in standard fluids list and if you are unsure
of the fluid sound speed, set tracking window to On and
program the minimum and maximum sound speed
range to scan.
5. For standard fluids list (see Table 18) supported in the
meter, the minimum, maximum and nominal sound
speeds are automatically selected.
6. Also program the process [Fluid Temperature] and
[Ambient Temperature] see Advanced programming
section.
