Verify Mass Flow Measurement - Emerson Micro Motion 2700 Configuration And Use Manual

If your sensor tag does not show a DT or TC value, enter the last 3 digits of the density
calibration factor. In the sample tag, this value is shown as 4.44 (see
Flow calibration parameters (FCF, FT)
Two separate values are used to describe flow calibration: a 6-character FCF value and a 4-
character FT value. Both values contain decimal points. During characterization, these may
be entered as two values or as a single 10-character string. The 10-character string is called
either Flowcal or FCF.
If your sensor tag shows the FCF and the FT values separately and you need to enter a
single value, concatenate the two values to form the single parameter value.
If your sensor tag shows a concatenated Flowcal or FCF value and you need to enter the FCF
and the FT values separately, split the concatenated value:
•
•
Example: Concatenating FCF and FT
FCF = x.xxxx
FT = y.yy
Flow calibration parameter: x.xxxxy.yy
Example: Splitting the concatenated Flowcal or FCF value
Flow calibration parameter: x.xxxxy.yy
FCF = x.xxxx
FT = y.yy

Verify mass flow measurement

Check to see that the mass flow rate reported by the transmitter is accurate. You can use
any available method.

Configuration and Use Manual
FCF = The first 6 characters, including the decimal point
FT = The last 4 characters, including the decimal point
Read the value for Mass Flow Rate on the transmitter display.
Connect to the transmitter with ProLink II and read the value for Mass Flow Rate in the
Process Variables window (ProLink > Process Variables).
Connect to the transmitter with ProLink III and read the value for Mass Flow Rate in
the Process Variables panel.
Connect to the transmitter with the Field Communicator and read the value for Mass
Flow Rate in the Process Variables menu (On-Line Menu > Overview > Primary Purpose
Variables).
Check the characterization parameters.
