Measuring

As all functions and settings now are 
completed, we are prepared for the 
measuring procedure.

The BalanceFlex program comprises 
two different measuring methods 
represented by and just below 
Measuring Methods.

Measuring Method 1 is characterized 
by a given valve position, the 
measured differential pressure over a 
balancing valve and the 
corresponding flow calculation. 
Measured values for the chosen 
valve, manufacturer, type, size, valve 
position, Kv-value, differential 
pressure, flow, static pressure and 
temperature are stored.

Measuring method 2 is characterized 
by entering a  desired flow value to 
the BalanceFlex program. The Hand 
Terminal calculates and presents a 
valve position for achieving the 
desired flow.

At the lower part of the screen there 
are a quick reference icons, 
language, units for DP, Flow and 
temperature that could be changed 
even during measuring.
