Configure process measurement Options for Mass Flow Measurement Unit The transmitter provides a standard set of measurement units for Mass Flow Measurement Unit, plus one user-defined special measurement unit. Different communications tools may use different labels for the units.
Configure process measurement Overview 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 Mass Unit. Base Mass Unit is the existing mass unit that the special unit will be based on. 2. Specify Base Time Unit.
Configure process measurement 4.1.2 Configure Flow Damping ProLink II ProLink > Configuration > Flow > Flow Damp ProLink III Device Tools > Configuration > Process Measurement > Flow Field Communicator Configure > Manual Setup > Measurements > Flow > Flow Damping Overview Damping is used to smooth out small, rapid fluctuations in process measurement. Damping Value specifies the time period (in seconds) over which the transmitter will spread changes in the reported process variable.
Configure process measurement Table 4-2: Valid values for Flow Damping Core processor type Update Rate setting Valid damping values Standard Normal 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8, ... 51.2 Special 0, 0.04, 0.08, 0.16, ... 10.24 Not applicable 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8, ... 51.2 Enhanced Effect of Flow Damping on volume measurement Flow Damping affects volume measurement for liquid volume data. Flow Damping also affects volume measurement for gas standard volume data.
Configure process measurement Effect of Mass Flow Cutoff on volume measurement Mass Flow Cutoff does not affect volume measurement. Volume data is calculated from the actual mass data rather than the reported value. Interaction between Mass Flow Cutoff and AO Cutoff Mass Flow Cutoff defines the lowest mass flow value that the transmitter will report as measured. AO Cutoff defines the lowest flow rate that will be reported via the mA output.
Configure process measurement 4.2 Configure volume flow measurement for liquid applications The volume flow measurement parameters control how liquid volume flow is measured and reported. The volume flow measurement parameters include: • Volume Flow Type • Volume Flow Measurement Unit • Volume Flow Cutoff Restriction You cannot implement both liquid volume flow and gas standard volume flow at the same time. You must choose one or the other. 4.2.
Configure process measurement Prerequisites Before you configure Volume Flow Measurement Unit, be sure that Volume Flow Type is set to Liquid. Procedure Set Volume Flow Measurement Unit to the unit you want to use. The default setting for Volume Flow Measurement Unit is l/sec (liters per second). Tip If the measurement unit you want to use is not available, you can define a special measurement unit.
Configure process measurement Table 4-3: Options for Volume Flow Measurement Unit for liquid applications (continued) Unit description Label ProLink II ProLink III Field Communicator Imperial gallons per minute Imp gal/min Imp gal/min Impgal/min Imperial gallons per hour Imp gal/hr Imp gal/hr Impgal/h Imperial gallons per day Imp gal/day Imp gal/day Impgal/d Barrels per second(1) barrels/sec barrels/sec bbl/s Barrels per minute(1) barrels/min barrels/min bbl/min Barrels per hour(1)
Configure process measurement a. x base units = y special units b. Volume Flow Conversion Factor = x/y 4. Enter Volume Flow Conversion Factor. 5. Set Volume Flow Label to the name you want to use for the volume flow unit. 6. Set Volume Total Label to the name you want to use for the volume total and 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.
Configure process measurement Interaction between Volume Flow Cutoff and AO Cutoff Volume Flow Cutoff defines the lowest liquid volume flow value that the transmitter will report as measured. AO Cutoff defines the lowest flow rate that will be reported via the mA output. If mA Output Process Variable is set to Volume Flow Rate, the volume flow rate reported via the mA output is controlled by the higher of the two cutoff values.
Configure process measurement The GSV flow measurement parameters include: • Volume Flow Type • Standard Gas Density • Gas Standard Volume Flow Measurement Unit • Gas Standard Volume Flow Cutoff Restriction You cannot implement both liquid volume flow and gas standard volume flow at the same time. You must choose one or the other. 4.3.

Configure process measurement 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. 5.
Configure process measurement Procedure Set Gas Standard Volume Flow Cutoff to the value you want to use. The default value for Gas Standard Volume Flow Cutoff is 0.0. The lower limit is 0.0. There is no upper limit. Interaction between Gas Standard Volume Flow Cutoff and AO Cutoff Gas Standard Volume Flow Cutoff defines the lowest Gas Standard Volume flow value that the transmitter will report as measured. AO Cutoff defines the lowest flow rate that will be reported via the mA output.
Configure process measurement • 4.4 The frequency output will report the actual flow rate, and the actual flow rate will be used in all internal processing. If the gas standard volume flow rate drops below 10 SLPM, both outputs will report zero flow, and 0 will be used in all internal processing.

Measurement support 9.2.1 Smart Meter Verification requirements To use Smart Meter Verification, the transmitter must be paired with an enhanced core processor, and the Smart Meter Verification option must be ordered for the transmitter. See Table 9‐1 for the minimum version of the transmitter, enhanced core processor, and communication tool needed to support Smart Meter Verification. Table 9-1: Minimum version to support Smart Meter Verification Item Minimum version Transmitter 6.
Measurement support Smart Meter Verification has an output mode called Continuous Measurement that allows the transmitter to keep measuring while the test is in progress. If you choose to run the test in Last Measured Value or Fault modes instead, the transmitter outputs will be held constant for the two minute duration of the test. If control loops depend on transmitter outputs, take appropriate action. Avoid process instability during the test.
Measurement support Postrequisites View the test results and take any appropriate actions. Run a Smart Meter Verification test using ProLink III 1. Choose Device Tools > Diagnostics > Meter Verification > Run Test. You may need to wait a few seconds while ProLink II synchronizes its database with the transmitter data. 2. Enter any desired information on the Test Definition screen, and click Next. All information on this screen is optional. 3. 4. Choose the desired output behavior.

Measurement support • If the meter fails the second test, the flow tubes may be damaged. Use your process knowledge to determine the possibilities for damage and the appropriate actions for each. These actions might include removing the meter from service and physically inspecting the tubes. At minimum, you should perform a flow validation and a density calibration. Abort A problem occurred with the meter verification test (e.g., process instability) or you stopped the test manually.
Measurement support 2. To schedule a single test or the first test in recurring execution, specify a value for Hours Until Next Run. 3. To schedule recurring execution, specify a value for Hours Between Recurring Runs. 4. To disable scheduled execution: • To disable execution of a single scheduled test, set Hours Until Next Run to 0. • To disable recurring execution, set Hours Between Recurring Runs to 0. • To disable all scheduled execution, click Turn Off Schedule.
Measurement support Important In most cases, the factory zero is more accurate than the field zero. Do not zero the flowmeter unless one of the following is true: 9.3.1 • The zero is required by site procedures. • The stored zero value fails the Zero Verification procedure. Zero the flowmeter using the zero button Zeroing the flowmeter establishes a baseline for process measurement by analyzing the sensor's output when there is no flow through the sensor tubes.
Measurement support • Set Zero Time to a lower value, then retry. • If the zero continues to fail, contact Micro Motion. Tip You can restore the factory zero using a communications tool such as ProLink II. Restore the factory zero only if your flowmeter was purchased as a unit, it was zeroed at the factory, and you are using the original components. This function requires the enhanced core processor. 9.3.
Measurement support Postrequisites Restore normal flow through the sensor by opening the valves. Need help? If the zero fails: • Ensure that there is no flow through the sensor, then retry. • Remove or reduce sources of electromechanical noise, then retry. • Set Zero Time to a lower value, then retry. • If the zero continues to fail, contact Micro Motion.
Measurement support 4. Modify Zero Time, if desired. Zero Time controls the amount of time the transmitter takes to determine its zeroflow reference point. The default Zero Time is 20 seconds. For most applications, the default Zero Time is appropriate. 5. Click Calibrate Zero. The Calibration in Progress message is displayed. When the calibration is complete: • If the zero procedure was successful, a Calibration Success message and a new zero value are displayed.
Measurement support e. Observe the drive gain, temperature, and density readings. If they are stable, check the Live Zero or Field Verification Zero value. If the average value is close to 0, you should not need to zero the flowmeter. 2. Press Service Tools > Maintenance > Zero Calibration > Perform Auto Zero. 3. Modify Zero Time, if desired. Zero Time controls the amount of time the transmitter takes to determine its zeroflow reference point. The default Zero Time is 20 seconds.
Measurement support Overview Meter validation compares flowmeter measurements reported by the transmitter to an external measurement standard. If the transmitter value for mass flow, volume flow, or density measurement is significantly different from the external measurement standard, you may want to adjust the corresponding meter factor. The flowmeter’s actual measurement is multiplied by the meter factor, and the resulting value is reported and used in further processing.
Measurement support 3. Configure the meter factor in the transmitter. Example: Calculating the meter factor for mass flow The flowmeter is installed and validated for the first time. The mass flow measurement from the transmitter is 250.27 lb. The mass flow measurement from the reference device is 250 lb. The mass flow meter factor is calculated as follows: MeterFactorMassFlow = 1 x 250 = 0.9989 250.27 The first meter factor for mass flow is 0.9989. One year later, the flowmeter is validated again.
Measurement support 9.5 3. Ensure that the calculated meter factor is between 0.8 and 1.2, inclusive. If the meter factor is outside these limits, contact Micro Motion customer service. 4. Configure the meter factor for volume flow in the transmitter. Perform a (standard) D1 and D2 density calibration Density calibration establishes the relationship between the density of the calibration fluids and the signal produced at the sensor.
Measurement support Procedure See Figure 9‐1.
Measurement support • If LD Optimization is enabled on your meter, disable it. To do this, choose Device Tools > Configuration > LD Optimization. LD Optimization is used only with large sensors in hydrocarbon applications. In some installations, only Micro Motion customer service has access to this parameter. If this is the case, contact Micro Motion before continuing. • The calibrations must be performed without interruption, in the order shown.
Measurement support 9.5.3 Perform a D1 and D2 density calibration using the Field Communicator Prerequisites • During density calibration, the sensor must be completely filled with the calibration fluid, and flow through the sensor must be at the lowest rate allowed by your application. This is usually accomplished by closing the shutoff valve downstream from the sensor, then filling the sensor with the appropriate fluid.
