Density calibration

4. To perform the high-density calibration:
a. Fill the sensor with a high-density fluid, such as water.
b. If possible, shut off the flow. Otherwise, pump the fluid through
the sensor at the lowest flow rate allowed by the process. To
ensure stable density, make sure the fluid in the flow tubes
remains completely free of gas bubbles during the calibration.
c. Use any established method to derive an accurate density, in
grams per cubic centimeter, for the fluid at line conditions. If water
is the high-density calibration fluid, a value from
Table 14-4
, page
143 can be used for the density.
d. If First Point (Air) was chosen in step 3, above, or if a one-point
high-density calibration is being performed, open the Calibrate
menu, then choose Density. At the cascading menu, choose
Second Point (Water) to open the Density Point 2 dialog box,
shown in
Figure 14-8
. If Dual Point (Air and Water) was chosen in
step 3, the Density Point 2 dialog box is already displayed.
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 Density Point 2 dialog box blinks
ON and OFF while density calibration is in progress. When the
indicator stops blinking, the high-density calibration is complete.
