•
Configure referred viscosity measurement, ASTM D341
Single-Curve method, using the Field Communicator
Important
Use the ASTM D341 Single-Curve method only with petroleum products.
Prerequisites
You must know the viscosity of your process fluid at two temperatures.

Method Description
Internal tempera- Temperature data from the on-
ture board temperature sensor
(RTD) will be used for all meas-
urements and calculations. No
external temperature data will
be available.
Configuration and Use Manual
If necessary, apply an offset.
Choose Configure > Manual Setup > Measurements > Referred Viscosity.
Set Referred Viscosity Calculation Method to ASTM D341 Single.
Choose ASTM D341 Single.
Define the curve.
a. Enter two temperature values, one in Temperature 1 and one in Temperature 2.
Enter the temperature in the currently configured temperature unit.
b. For each temperature, enter the viscosity of your process fluid at that
temperature.
Important
You must enter the viscosity in cSt (centistokes). If cP is displayed rather than cSt, send
data to the transmitter to refresh the display.
Enter two reference temperatures.
The first reference temperature will be used to calculate the Referred Viscosity
process variable. The second reference temperature will be used to calculate the
Referred Viscosity (Secondary) process variable. They do not need to be within the
temperature range of the curve.
Choose the method to be used to supply temperature data, and perform the
required setup.
Setup
a. Choose Configure > Manual Setup > Measurements > External Inputs
> Temperature.
b. Set External Temperature for Viscosity to Disable.
