In general, lower damping values are preferable because there is less chance of data loss, and less
lag time between the actual measurement and the reported value.
The value you enter is automatically rounded off to the nearest valid value. Valid values for
Temperature Damping are 0, 0.6, 1.2, 2.4, 4.8, ... 38.4.
4.6.3
Effect of Temperature Damping on process
measurement
Temperature Damping affects all processes and algorithms that use temperature data
from the internal sensor RTD.
Temperature compensation
Temperature compensation adjusts process measurement to compensate for the effect of
temperature on the sensor tubes.
Petroleum measurement
Temperature Damping affects petroleum measurement process variables only if the
transmitter is configured to use temperature data from the sensor. If an external
temperature value is used for petroleum measurement, Temperature Damping does not
affect petroleum measurement process variables.
Concentration measurement
Temperature Damping affects concentration measurement process variables only if the
transmitter is configured to use temperature data from the sensor. If an external
temperature value is used for concentration measurement, Temperature Damping does
not affect concentration measurement process variables.

Configure the petroleum measurement
application
The petroleum measurement application corrects line density to reference temperature
according to American Petroleum Institute (API) standards. The resulting process variable
is referred density.
Restriction
The petroleum measurement application is not compatible with the following applications:
•
•
4.7.1
Configure petroleum measurement using ProLink III
The petroleum measurement parameters specify the API table, measurement units, and
reference values to be used in referred density calculations.
Configuration and Use Manual
Gas standard volume measurement (GSV)
