Page 14: Calculating The Scale Factor
Calculating The Scale Factor CALCULATING THE SCALE FACTOR A Scale Factor is a number used to adjust meter accuracy The Scale Factor is set at the factory using motor oil with a viscosity of 10W The primary use for Scale Factor recalibration is to batch fluids with different viscosities If the fluid has a lower viscosity, more fluid can slip past the meter gears without being detected Changing the Scale Factor adjusts the meter to compensate for the loss The meter multiplies each pulse by the Scale Factor number to correct the accuracy when it converts to the specified units... - Page 15 Calculating The Scale Factor Figure 1: Chart of Approximate Scale Factors for Fluids of Different Viscosities Fluid Viscosity Scale Factor Water/Anti-Freeze 1 044 Anti-Freeze 1 007 Brake Fluid 1 004 1 002 1 000 80W-90 0 999 140W 1800 0 993 Table 1: Samples of Fluids, Viscosities and Scale Factors September 2015 AUT-UM-01734-EN-03...
