4.2 Configure mass flow measurement
The mass flow measurement parameters control how mass flow is measured and reported. The mass total
and mass inventory are derived from the mass flow data.
4.2.1 Configure Mass Flow Measurement Unit
Display
Menu → Configuration → Process Measurement → Flow Variables → Mass Flow Settings → Units
ProLink III Device Tools → Configuration → Process Measurement → Flow → Mass Flow Rate Unit
Field communicator Device Settings → Process Configuration → Mass Flow Rate → Mass Flow Rate Unit
Mass Flow Measurement Unit specifies the unit of measure that will be used for the mass flow rate. The
default unit used for mass total and mass inventory is derived from this unit.
Procedure
Set Mass Flow Measurement Unit to the unit you want to use.
Default: g/sec (grams per second)
Tip
If the measurement unit you want to use is not available, you can define a special measurement unit.
Options for Mass Flow Measurement Unit
The transmitter provides a standard set of measurement units for Mass Flow Measurement Unit, plus one
user-defined special measurement unit. Different communications tools may use different labels for the units.
