The software calculates the viscosity across the entire specified temperature
range The most commonly used and most accurate method for calculating
viscosity is the
ASTM
method However, the
Andrade
method may be used
OTEE:
N
All calculations are done per ASTM D341 when
ASTM
is selected
Temperature vs Density Table
Figure 29: Temperature vs Density Table
The density table is only applicable when a mass flow rate is needed Using the
flow meters temperature sensor, density is calculated from the
Temperature vs
Density
table and then multiplied by the volumetric flow rate to obtain the mass
flow rate
MassFlowRate = VolumetricFlowRate × Density
Leave these fields blank or clear the table using the IDX button (right-click the
IDX
button and select
Clear Grid
), if a mass flow rate is not needed
You will need to get the density properties from our factory or independently
in order to calculate mass flow rate If difficulty arises in obtaining density
information regarding your liquid, have Badger Meter test the liquid properties in
our laboratory, and supply you with the temperature vs density information
