Chapter 10
Measurement Performance
10.1
Overview
This chapter describes the following procedures:
•
Meter verification – see Section 10.3
•
Meter validation and adjusting meter factors – see Section 10.4
•
Density calibration – see Section 10.5
•
Temperature calibration – see Section 10.6
Note: All ProLink II procedures provided in this section assume that your computer is already
connected to the transmitter and you have established communication. All ProLink II procedures also
assume that you are complying with all applicable safety requirements. See Chapter 3 for more
information.
Note: All Communicator key sequences in this section assume that you are starting from the “Online”
menu. See Chapter 4 for more information.
10.2
Meter validation, meter verification, and calibration
The Model 2400S transmitter supports the following procedures for the evaluation and adjustment of
measurement performance:
•
Meter verification – establishing confidence in the sensor’s performance by analyzing
secondary variables associated with flow and density
•
Meter validation – confirming performance by comparing the sensor’s measurements to a
primary standard
•
Calibration – establishing the relationship between a process variable (flow, density, or
temperature) and the signal produced by the sensor
These three procedures are discussed and compared in Sections 10.2.1 through 10.2.4. Before
performing any of these procedures, review these sections to ensure that you will be performing the
appropriate procedure for your purposes.
10.2.1
Meter verification
Meter verification evaluates the structural integrity of the sensor tubes by comparing current tube
stiffness to the stiffness measured at the factory. Stiffness is defined as the deflection of the tube per
unit of load, or force divided by displacement. Because a change in structural integrity changes the
sensor’s response to mass and density, this value can be used as an indicator of measurement
performance. Changes in tube stiffness are typically caused by erosion, corrosion, or tube damage.
Note: Micro Motion recommends performing meter verification at regular intervals.
