Volume Special Units
A special measurement unit is a user-defined unit of measure that allows you to report process data, totalizer
data, and inventory data in a unit that is not available in the transmitter. A special measurement unit is
calculated from an existing measurement unit using a conversion factor.
Procedure
1. Specify
Base Volume Unit
.
Base Volume Unit
is the existing volume unit that the special unit will be based on.
2. Specify
Base Time Unit
.
Base Time Unit
is the existing time unit that the special unit will be based on.
3. Calculate
Volume Flow Conversion Factor
as follows:
a) x base units = y special units
b)
Volume Flow Conversion Factor
= x ÷ y
4. Enter
Volume Flow Conversion Factor
.
The original volume flow rate value is divided by this conversion factor.
5. Set
Volume Flow Label
to the name you want to use for the volume flow unit.
