4. Set
Base Temperature
to the temperature value to which density measurements will be corrected (the
reference temperature).
The default is 20 °C. The range is
−
50 °C to +200 °C.
This value is also used in line density measurement. Be sure that the value is appropriate for both
process variables.
5. (Relative density meters only) Set
Density of Air
to the value to be used in your application.
Enter the value in the configured measurement unit. The default is 0.000122305 g/cm
³
. The range is
0.0001 g/cm
³
to 0.00015 g/cm

Special Units
A special measurement unit is a user-defined unit of measure that allows you to report process 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
Density Special Unit Base
.
Density Special Unit Base
is the existing density unit that the special unit will be based on.
