The flowmeter pipe expands depending on the temperature of the fluid.
This affects the calibration of the flowmeter.
This submenu allows the user to enter an appropriate correction
factor. This is given by the manufacturer of the flowmeter. This factor
converts the changes in the measuring signal per degree variation from
calibration temperature. The calibration temperature is entered into the
flow computer to 70 F / 21 °C.
Some manufacturers use a graph or a formula to show the influence
of temperature on the calibration of the flowmeter. In this case use the
following equation to calculate the meter expansion coefficient:
K
ME
Meter expansion coefficient
Q(T) Volumetric flow at temperature T resp. T
CAL
T
Average process temperature
T
CAL
Calibration temperature
Note:
• This correction should be set in either the flowmeter or in
the flow computer.
• Entering the value "0.000" disables this function
• Value can be calculated from Fa factor
