8.5.2 Special measurement unit procedure
To create a special measurement unit:
1. If necessary, set Volume Flow Type to match the type of special measurement unit you will
create.
2. Identify the simplest base volume or mass and base time units for your special mass flow or
volume flow unit. For example, to create the special volume flow unit pints per minute , the
simplest base units are gallons per minute:
• Base volume unit: gallon
• Base time unit: minute
3. Calculate the conversion factor using the formula below:
Note: 1 gallon per minute = 8 pints per minute
4. Name the new special mass flow or volume flow measurement unit and its corresponding
totalizer measurement unit:
• Special volume flow measurement unit name: Pint/min
• Volume totalizer measurement unit name: Pints
Note: Special measurement unit names can be up to 8 characters long (i.e., 8 numbers or letters), but
only the first 5 characters appear on the display.
5. To apply the special measurement unit to mass flow or volume flow measurement, select
Special from the list of measurement units (see Section 6.4.1 or 6.4.2).
