Using the STP/NTP menu, you can independently change the temperature or
pressure references for STP and NTP. Your ow meter ships with Alicat default
STP of 25°C and 1 atm (which aects ow units beginning with "S"), and an
NTP of 0°C and 1 atm (which aects ow units beginning with "N").
To make changes, follow these steps:
1. Select the desired pressure or temperature
reference engineering unit by selecting Ref temp
units or Ref pressure units and pressing CHANGE. Both
normal and standard references use the same
engineering units.
2. Select the temperature or pressure value
you wish to modify, and press CHANGE.
3. At the conrmation screen, press SET to
conrm your desired change.
Caution: Changes to STP/NTP references
will alter your mass ow readings.

Dening STP/NTP Reference Values
Standardized ow rates are reported in "standard" or "normal" volumetric
ow units that reference a given temperature and pressure combination. This
reference is called an STP (standard temperature and pressure) or, typically in
Europe, an NTP (normal temperature and pressure).
