14.11 Gas measurement problems
14.11.1 Compressibility or other gas process variable reads NaN
(Not a Number)
Cause
•
Process variable outside valid range for compressibility method
•
Input to gas measurement not operational
•
Inaccurate density reading due to leakage
Recommended actions
1. Ensure that your process is within the valid range for the configured compressibility method.
2. Ensure that all inputs are configured correctly.
3. Ensure that all inputs are operating correctly.
4. Check for leakage.
14.11.2 Inaccurate gas readings
Cause
•
Inaccurate density, temperature, pressure, or other inputs
•
Inappropriate calibration factors
Recommended actions
1. Ensure that the process data used for gas measurement is accurate. This includes density,
temperature, pressure, gas composition.
2. Ensure that the correct calibration is being used for measurement.
3. Recalibrate the device.
14.12 Concentration measurement problems
14.12.1 Inaccurate concentration measurement reading
Cause
•
Inaccurate density measurement
•
Incorrect matrix data
•
Inappropriate trim values
Recommended actions
1. Verify the molecular weight, specific gravity, or relative density value. If it is not accurate, resolve
your measurement problems.
2. Ensure that the appropriate matrix is active.
