6.3.2 Calibration during operation
This procedure basically involves discharging of liquid into a calibration vessel under actual operating
conditions (flow, rate, viscosity etc.). The procedure must be carried out with utmost care.
Tip
Note carefully the following points in order to guarantee proper calibration:
Have your equipment properly vented before calibration.
■
■
Use a calibrated vessel holding at least 5 litres with a precise full mark.
■
■
For calibration, discharge a certain amount of test liquid with a constant flow rate, exactly as
■
■
you would do in normal operation. Continue until the vessel is full.
Do not decrease the flow rate when you approach the full mark. Instead, turn the spigot on
■
■
and off and fill the vessel in small batches, but make sure the flow rate remains unchanged.
When you‘re finished be sure to wait a few minutes and let air bubbles escape that may still be
■
■
in the calibration vessel. Otherwise there is a danger you get a wrong value because the level
in the vessel may still go down.
Be sure to carry out the following procedure correctly.

Display no longer shows total, but valid K Factor. „FACT“ or
„USER“ indicates whether valid calibration factor is (Factory
K Factor or User K Factor).
