PPG to PPL Conversion
If the flow meter’s body or test report shows the k-factor in pulses per gallon (PPG), it needs to be converted into
pulses per LITRE (PPL) first.
Divide the PPG k-factor by
3.7854
to convert into PPL.
As an example: If the PPG k-factor is 136.70, the PPL k-factor is 36.112
The display accepts k-factor in pulses per LITRE only
Once the programming is done, visit the parameters again to make sure the changes are saved correctly
HOW TO FIND A K-FACTOR OF YOUR METER
The K-factor could be found on either of;
•
Flow meter’s body
•
Flow meter’s test report
•
Contact Macnaught providing the Serial Number of the flow meter
PROGRAMMING K-FACTOR IN THE DISPLAY
Always enter the K-factor in
pulses per LITRE
(PPL).
Entering the k-factor in pulses per gallon (PPG) will result in
inaccurate readings.
Follow below steps to enter the k-factor if you are in RUN mode
