Volume (Optional)
Only available on
blackbox
130D, fitted with optional LCD display and
integral keypad and provides a variety of volume calculation features,
with
11
pre-programmed
vessel shapes
. See V
essel Shape
(
P600
) for more
information. For each vessel, you will need to know the
dimensions
(
P601-
603
) in
Measurement
Units
(
P104
) which are required to calculate the
volume
(
P604
) which will be displayed in the selected
Volume
Units
(
P605
).
If your vessel shape does not correspond with any of the pre-programmed
vessel shapes, then you can use the
universal calculations
. For this you will
need a level/volume graph or chart provided by the vessel manufacturer or
you can create one based on the dimensions of the vessel. You can enter up
to 32 pairs of breakpoints, and the more you enter, the greater accuracy of the
volume calculation will be.
