Meter body

ProLink III
Meter body parameters are factory-set configuration variables that indicate the physical
and manufacturing properties of the flow meter. These parameters need not be changed
unless the transmitter is being configured in the field for use with a different meter body
than originally configured.
Wetted Material The meter body material that is in contact with the process.

Meter factor

Compensates the flowmeter for installation effects such as those caused by less than ideal
straight run piping. See the reference graphs in the Technical Data Sheet
(00816-0100-3250) on Installation Effects for the percent of K-factor shift based on entrance
effects of upstream disturbances. This value is entered as a flow multiplication factor of
the range of 0.8 to 1.2.
7.5

Variable mapping

Allows the user to select which variables the transmitter will output.
ProLink III
Primary Variable
The Primary Variable can be either Corrected Volume Flow, Mass Flow, Velocity Flow, or
Volume Flow or Process Temperature. When bench commissioning, the flow values for
each variable should be zero and the temperature value should be the ambient
temperature.
If the units for the flow or temperature variables are not correct, refer to
units. Use the Process Variable Units function to select the units for your application.
Secondary Variable
Selections for the secondary variable can be set to any of the following:
48
Device Tools → Configuration → Informational Parameters →
Meter Body
The sensor flange type and rating.
The manufacturer's unique identification number for the sensor.
A number + letter or a number with no letter on the right side of the
meter body tag indicating the construction of the meter.
Number + letter "A" or number only Welded meter construction
Number + letter "B"
