Definition
The zero value stored in the transmitter at the time a field zero calibration
is begun. May be the factory zero or a previous field zero.
The zero value stored in the transmitter, typically obtained from a zero
calibration procedure. It may also be configured manually. Also called
"mechanical zero" or "stored zero".
The real-time bidirectional mass flow rate with no flow damping or mass
flow cutoff applied. An adaptive damping value is applied only when the
mass flow rate changes dramatically over a very short interval. Unit = con-
figured mass flow measurement unit.
A laboratory-derived value used to calculate the expected accuracy for a
sensor. Under laboratory conditions at zero flow, the average flow rate is
expected to fall within the range defined by the Zero Stability value (0 ±
Zero Stability). Each sensor size and model has a unique Zero Stability val-
ue. Statistically, 95% of all data points should fall within the range defined
by the Zero Stability value.
The procedure used to determine the zero value.
The time period over which the Zero Calibration procedure is performed.
Unit = seconds.
A 3-minute running average of the Live Zero value, calculated by the
transmitter. Unit = configured mass flow measurement unit.
A procedure used to evaluate the stored zero and determine whether or
not a field zero can improve measurement accuracy.
