9.2 Various Kinds of Corrections
9.2.1
Phase angle rotation correction
The phase is available only from 0 degree to 360 degrees. If the phase incrementally reaches 360
degrees, it returns to 0 degree, from which it keeps incrementing again. If the phase decreasingly
reaches 0 degrees, it returns to 360 degrees, from which it keeps decreasing again. Accordingly,
the concept of phase angle rotation is incorporated into this density meter and some corrections
have been made so to allow the phase to change to an unlimited extent. In such a manner, this
density meter has overcome the limit that the phase is available only from 0 to 360 degrees, thus
realizing high density measurement.
Phase angle rotation correction refers to obtaining the real phase angle θ
of rotations the dummy angle θ
after.

N: Number of rotations
Set N=0 at the time of zero calibration, making the number of rotations to zero for the phase
angle
θ
at zero point.

If the θ
' exceeds 360 degrees to enter into the next rotation, set N=1. If it again exceeds
2
360 degrees to enter into the rotation after the next rotation, set N=2.
(N will move up to 2 only if the meter is of large diameter and the density is high.)
On the other hand, if θ
decrease N by one (1). In other words, when it goes into the -1st rotation from the 0th one,
set N=−1; and when into the 0th rotation from the 1st one, set N=0.
Note: The description above is the basics regarding the phase angle rotation correction. Normally,
it is all right to use the density meter without being aware of this correction. However, in the
event of measuring high density, etc., special setups and actions may be needed. For details,
refer to Section 9.3.
9.2.2
Fluid temperature correction
The phase tends to change in a straight line with regard to the fluid temperature. In this connection,
fluid temperature correction is performed on θ
