Application specific commissioning

6.4.1

Zero point adjustment

Consequently, zero point adjustment is generally not necessary.
Experience shows that the zero point adjustment is advisable only in special cases:
• To achieve highest measuring accuracy also with very small flow rates.
• Under extreme process or operating conditions (e.g. very high process temperatures or very high
viscosity fluids).
Preconditions for a zero point adjustment
Note the following before you perform a zero point adjustment:
• A zero point adjustment can be performed only with fluids that contain no gas or solid contents.
• Zero point adjustment is performed with the pipe completely filled and at zero flow (v = 0 m/s).
This can be achieved, for example, with shut-off valves upstream and/or downstream of the
measuring range or by using existing valves and gates (Fig. 46).
– Standard operation → valves 1 and 2 open
– Zero point adjustment with pump pressure → valve 1 open / valve 2 closed
– Zero point adjustment without pump pressure → valve 1 closed / valve 2 open
Caution!
• If the fluid is very difficult to measure (e.g. containing entrained solids or gas) it may prove impos-
sible to obtain a stable zero point despite repeated zero point adjustments. In instances of this
nature, please contact your Endress+Hauser service center.
• You can view the currently valid zero point value using the "ZERO POINT" function (see the
"Description of Device Functions" manual).
