  • Page 90: Meter Validation And Meter Factors

    Measurement Performance Meter verification either holds the last output value or causes the outputs to go to the configured fault values during the procedure (approximately 4 minutes). Micro Motion recommends that you perform meter verification on a regular basis. 10.2.2 Meter validation and meter factors Meter validation compares a measurement value reported by the transmitter with an external measurement standard.

  • Page 91: Comparison And Recommendations

    Measurement Performance 10.2.4 Comparison and recommendations When choosing among meter verification, meter validation, and calibration, consider the following factors: • Process interruption Meter verification requires approximately four minutes to perform. During these four minutes, flow can continue (provided sufficient stability is maintained); however, outputs will not report process data.
  • Page 92 Measurement Performance If stability varies outside test limits, the meter verification procedure will be aborted. Verify process stability and retry. During meter verification, you must choose to fix the outputs at either the configured fault levels or the last measured value. The outputs will remain fixed for the duration of the test (approximately four minutes).

  • Page 93: Specification Uncertainty Limit And Test Results

    Measurement Performance 10.3.1 Specification uncertainty limit and test results The result of the meter verification test will be a percent uncertainty of normalized tube stiffness. The default limit for this uncertainty is ±4.0%. This limit is stored in the transmitter, and can be changed with ProLink II when optional test parameters are entered.

    Measurement Performance Example 10.5 Performing density calibration Density calibration includes the following calibration points: • All sensors: D1 calibration (low-density) D2 calibration (high-density) • T-Series sensors only: D3 calibration (optional) D4 calibration (optional) For T-Series sensors, the optional D3 and D4 calibrations could improve the accuracy of the density measurement.

  • Page 96: Density Calibration Procedures

    Measurement Performance Density calibration fluids D1 and D2 density calibration require a D1 (low-density) fluid and a D2 (high-density) fluid. You may use air and water. If you are calibrating a T-Series sensor, the D1 fluid must be air and the D2 fluid must be water.

    Troubleshooting 11.21 Checking the characterization A transmitter that is incorrectly characterized for its sensor might produce inaccurate output values. If the flowmeter appears to be operating correctly but sends inaccurate output values, an incorrect characterization could be the cause. If you discover that any of the characterization data are wrong, perform a complete characterization. See Section 4.2.
