Overview
A special measurement unit is a user-defined unit of measure that allows you to report
process data, totalizer data, and inventory data in a unit that is not available in the
transmitter. A special measurement unit is calculated from an existing measurement unit
using a conversion factor.
Note
Although you cannot define a special measurement unit using the display, you can use the display to
select an existing special measurement unit, and to view process data using the special
measurement unit.

Device Tools > Configuration > Process Measurement > Flow > Special Units
Specify Base Mass Unit.
Base Mass Unit is the existing mass unit that the special unit will be based on.
Specify Base Time Unit.
Base Time Unit is the existing time unit that the special unit will be based on.
Calculate Mass Flow Conversion Factor as follows:
a. x base units = y special units
b. Mass Flow Conversion Factor = x ÷ y
The original mass flow rate value is divided by this value.
Enter Mass Flow Conversion Factor.
Set Mass Flow Label to the name you want to use for the mass flow unit.
Set Mass Total Label to the name you want to use for the mass total and mass
inventory unit.
Set Base Mass Unit to Pounds (lb).
Set Base Time Unit to Seconds (sec).
