4.5.3 Pressure-effect expansion correction
The meter is capable of correcting the raw volumetric flow rate for the effect of pipe expansion
due to pressure changes. Note that for the pressure-effect expansion correction factor to be
calculated, the correction must be enabled (via the
EnableExpCorrPress data point) and the flow-
condition pressure must be available (i.e., the
EnablePressureInput data point must be set to
‘Live’(1) or ‘Fixed’(2), see Section 5.10.3). The pressure-effect calculation is shown in Equation
4-10. If the pressure-effect expansion correction factor is not calculated, it is set to 1.0.
