2.2.3 Change Flow Settings – Mass or Volume
(mini) CORI-FLOW
The Bronkhorst Coriolis based flow meters are mass flow meters.
Setpoint and measurement values can be displayed in volume flow units using an internal
conversion.
3 options are currently available
(not for CORI-FLOW M54 / M55)
.
Disable protected mode
- Write value 64 to parameter 7 – Init Reset
(unlock secured parameters)
Option A – Mass Flow
(default)
- Write value 0 to parameter 243 – Capacity Unit Type Index (set to mass flow mode)
Option B – Volume Flow with fixed density
(volume flow mode)
- Write value 1 to parameter 243 – Capacity Unit Type Index (set to volume flow mode)
Set fixed fluid density value
- Write value
<density>
to parameter 170 – Density
(density value in [kg/m
3
])
Option C – Actual Volume Flow using measured density
(actual converted volume flow)
- Write value 4 to parameter 243 – Capacity Unit Type Index (set to actual volume flow mode)
Read measured fluid density value
(for reference)
-
Read value [kg/m3] from parameter 270 – Actual Density (density measurement)
Note on Actual Volume Flow mode
Using the instrument for measuring volume flows (e.g. l/h, ml/min) will introduce an additional
inaccuracy, based on the actual density measured by the instrument.
Enable protected mode
- Write value 82 to parameter 7 – Init Reset
(lock secured parameters)
