Figure 5.21: Density Options
To calculate
VALID
results for any measurement units other than (cP x
g/cm
3
) (Viscosity x Density), the ViscoSite system
MUST
have valid
density information at process conditions for the material being
measured. Failure to provide density information for the process
material in proximity of the transducer will lead to
invalid
calculations
of viscosity expressed in standard viscosity units (cP. mPas, cSt.)
Automatic Density
The ViscoSite transmitter can accept a 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA signal from
a real-time density transducer via an
isolated analog Density input
to
enable calculations of viscosity in units of
•
millipascal seconds (mPa
*s)
•
centipoise (cP)
•
centistokes (cSt)
5.8.2.1 Enabling and Configuring Auto Density
•
Select the “Auto Density
Enabled
”
radio button.
•
Select the 0-20/4-20mA output type from the density
transducer as the Auto Density Input Type.
(The other
selections are not functional at this time. Do not select
them).
Press ENTER/RETURN
on the keyboard.
•
Enter the minimum and maximum density values,
taking into account the units shown, corresponding to
the limits of the density transducer 0-20/4-20mA output
signal as configured for the process.
Press
ENTER/RETURN after each entry
.
•
Once all parameters have been selected in this
submenu, click on another toolbar button to trigger the
“
Save Changes
” Dialog.
•
To save the most recent changes, click “
Save
.”
This
sends the updated information to the transmitter.
•
To exit the menu without saving the most recent
changes
, click “
Continue
.”
•
To remain in the menu, click “
Cancel
.” The most recent
changes remain on the screen for further editing. They
are not sent to the transmitter.
•
Connect the real time density transducer output to the
ViscoSite transmitter Density Input as outlined in
Section 3.10.2.
