D.2 Derived variables and calculated process variables
The Concentration Measurement application calculates a different set of process variables from each derived
variable. The process variables are then available for viewing or reporting.

Mass/unit volume,
corrected to a given
reference temperature
✓ ✓
Specific Gravity The ratio of the density
of a process fluid at a
given temperature to
the density of water at
a given temperature
The two
given temperature
conditions do not need
to be the same.
