Calibration Record, shown in
Appendix F
, page 189. Follow these steps
to perform a density calibration for an IFT9701 or IFT9703:
1. Density calibration requires reading and entering density values in
grams per cubic centimeter
. To change the density unit of
measure:
a. Open the Configure menu, then choose Transmitter Variables.
b. In the Configure Transmitter Variables dialog box, open the
density units list box, then select g/cc as the density unit.
c. Click OK.
2. Perform a two-point or one-point density calibration:
• To perform a two-point density calibration for an IFT9701 or
IFT9703, follow the procedures in steps 3 and 4.
• If performing a one-point density calibration, follow either step 3
or step 4.
3. To perform the low-density calibration:
a. Fill the sensor with a low-density fluid, such as air.
b. If possible, shut off the flow. Otherwise, pump the fluid through
the sensor at the lowest flow rate allowed by the process.
c. Use any established method to derive an accurate density, in
grams per cubic centimeter, for the fluid at line conditions. If air is
the low-density calibration fluid, a value from
Table 14-2
can be
used for the density.
d. Open the Calibrate menu, then choose Density. At the cascading
menu, choose First Point (Air) or Dual Point (Air & Water) to open
the Density Point 1 dialog box, shown in
Figure 14-7
.
e. Enter the line-condition density,
in grams per cubic centimeter
,
into the Enter Density text box, then choose Do Cal. ProLink
reads density, determines tube period, corrects it to 0°C, and
updates the density calibration factor, indicating per cent
complete. The indicator in the dialog box blinks ON and OFF
while density calibration is in progress. When the indicator stops
blinking, the low-density calibration is complete.
CAUTION
If dual-point density calibration is initiated, failure
to perform the entire procedure will result in
inaccurate density measurement.
To avoid inaccurate density measurement, initiate
dual-point density calibration only when the entire
procedure can be completed. Otherwise, perform only
the first point (air) or second point (water) procedure.
