To enter the K0 and K1 thermal expansion coefficients:
From the [Liquid Table] menu cell, press to scroll down to [K0].
Press to enable numeric entry.
Use PC numeric keys or Magnetic Wand to enter the desired K0 factor.
To enter the K0 factor press .
This moves the highlight down to [K1].
Repeat the procedure for K1.
Setting the LiquIdent™ Index
A Liquid Class must have an associated LiquIdent™ Index Scale. The Interface Detector uses
this scale to compensate its outputs for variations in liquid type, specific gravity, and viscos-
ity. The LiquIdent™ Index Scale enables positive liquid identification.
A LiquIdent™ Index is the sonic velocity for the liquid at 60ºF (15.6ºC). When a LiquIdent™
Index is entered for a particular liquid within the Liquid Class, the liquid’s specific gravity
and its viscosity must also be entered at the LiquIdent™ Index.
To create a LiquIdent™ Index Scale for the Liquid Class, a minimum of two LiquIdent™ Indi-
ces are required to be entered. If desired, up to sixteen LiquIdent™ Indices can be entered.
However, the computer only needs two to establish a scale of all the possible LiquIdent™
indices for the Liquid Class.
After the computer interpolates the LiquIdent™ Index Scale, its projections can be checked
by entering a meaningful LiquIdent™ Index and examining the reported specific gravity and
viscosity values. The scale can be fine-tuned by manually adjusting the factors at up to thirty-
six separate points.
