Note
Altering the Base Temperature will result in all "Base" outputs and settable items to be
referenced to the selected temperature.
Entering K0 and K1 parameters (API thermal expansion coefficients):
The K0 and K1 parameters represent the thermal expansion coefficients for the Liquid Class.
The meter requires these parameters to apply the proper volume correction. These
coefficients can be found in the ASTM designation: D1250 or the API standard: 2540. The
default K0 and K1 values are 341.0957 and 0.0, respectively. These correspond to Crude
Oils. If these values suit the application, these menu cells can be bypassed by pressing the
<Down Arrow> twice. The following tables list K0 and K1 values of some common classes of
liquids.
