Procedure
1. Choose Configure > Manual Setup > Measurements > API Referral .
2. Choose API Referral Setup .
3. Specify the API table that you want to use for measurement.
Each API table is associated with a specific set of equations.
a. Set
API Table Number
to the number that matches the API table units that you
want to use for referred density.
Your choice also determines the measurement unit to be used for temperature
and pressure, and the default values for reference temperature and reference
pressure.
