Record the process variables
Micro Motion suggests that you make a record of specific process variable measurements, including
the acceptable range of measurements, under normal operating conditions. Making a record of the
variable measurements will help you recognize when the process variables are unusually high or low,
and may help you better diagnose and troubleshoot application issues.
Procedure
Record the following process variables, under normal operating conditions:
Measurement
Process variable
Typical
Typical high
Typical low
Flow rate
Density
Temperature
Tube frequency
Pickoff voltage
Drive gain
