Special Gas Standard
Volume Units
A special measurement unit is a user-defined unit of measure that allows you to report process data, totalizer
data, and inventory data in a unit that is not available in the transmitter. A special measurement unit is
calculated from an existing measurement unit using a conversion factor.
Procedure
1. Specify
Base Gas Standard Volume Unit
.
Base Gas Standard Volume Unit
is the existing gas standard volume unit that the special unit will be
based on.
2. Specify
Base Time Unit
.
Base Time Unit
is the existing time unit that the special unit will be based on.
3. Calculate
Gas Standard Volume Flow Conversion Factor
as follows:
a) x base units = y special units
b)
Gas Standard Volume Flow Conversion Factor
= x ÷ y
4. Enter the
Gas Standard Volume Flow Conversion Factor
.
The original gas standard volume flow value is divided by this conversion factor.
5. Set
Gas Standard Volume Flow Label
to the name you want to use for the gas standard volume flow
unit.
6. Set
Gas Standard Volume Total Label
to the name you want to use for the gas standard volume total
and gas standard volume inventory unit.
The special measurement unit is stored in the transmitter. You can configure the transmitter to use the
special measurement unit at any time.
Defining a special measurement unit for gas standard volume flow
You want to measure gas standard volume flow in thousands of standard cubic feet per minute.
1. Set
Base Gas Standard Volume Unit
to SCFM.
2. Set
Base Time Unit
to minutes (min).
3. Calculate the conversion factor:
a. One thousands of standard cubic feet per minute = 1000 cubic feet per minute
b.
Gas Standard Volume Flow Conversion Factor
= 1 ÷ 1000 = 0.001
4. Set
Gas Standard Volume Flow Conversion Factor
to
0.001
.
5. Set
Gas Standard Volume Flow Label
to
KSCFM
.
6. Set
Gas Standard Volume Total Label
to
KSCF
.
