Value
Description
Avg Velocity
Displays the average flow velocity for the meter. This gauge contains no green zone.
Profile Factor
Displays the velocity flow profile factor for the meter. The profile factor is calculated from the
chordal velocities as ((VeVelocityC)/(VeVelocityD)). The green zone is centered
on the profile factor set in the baseline
±
the percentage defined by Profile factor limit configu-
rable in the
Field Setup Wizard
on the
Continuous Flow Analysis
page.
Swirl Angle
Displays the swirl angle in degrees for the meter. The green zone is centered on the swirl angle
set in the baseline
±
5%.
Symmetry
Displays the symmetry for the meter. The symmetry is calculated from the chordal velocities as
((VeVelocityB)/(VeVelocityD)). The green zone is centered on the Symmetry set
in the baseline
±
the percentage defined by Symmetry limit configurable in the
Field Setup Wizard
on the
Continuous Flow Analysis
page.
Cross-Flow
Displays the cross-flow for the meter. The cross-flow is calculated from the chordal velocities as
((VeVelocityC)/(VeVelocityD)). The green zone is centered on the cross-flow set
in the baseline
±
the percentage defined by Cross-flow limit configurable in the
Field Setup Wizard
on the
Continuous Flow Analysis
page.
Turbulence A through D
Displays the percent turbulence values for each path of the meter. The green zone extends for 0%
to the Chord turbulence limit configurable in the
Field Setup Wizard
on the
Continuous Flow
Analysis
page.
Display
1-minute averages
Selecting 1-minute averages will make the gauges display a one minute rolling average. Next to
this selection will be an indication if the one minute average values are valid or invalid. For the
averages to be valid, the meter must meet the following criteria for at least one full minute:
flowing in only one direction, no chord failures or inactive chords present and flowing within the
Flow limits configurable in the
Field Setup Wizard
on the
Continuous Flow Analysis
page.
Current values
Displays the most recently calculated values.
