4.5 Configure density measurement
The density measurement parameters control how density is measured and reported. Density measurement is
used with mass flow rate measurement to determine liquid volume flow rate.
4.5.1 Configure Density Measurement Unit
Display Menu → Configuration → Process Measurement → Density → Units
ProLink III Device Tools → Configuration → Process Measurement → Density → Density Unit
Field communicator Device Settings → Process Configuration → Density → Density Unit
Density Measurement Unit controls the measurement units that will be used in density calculations and
reporting.
Restriction
If the API Referral application is enabled, you cannot change the density measurement unit here. The density
measurement unit is controlled by the API table selection.
Procedure
Set Density Measurement Unit to the option you want to use.
Default: g/cm
3
(grams per cubic centimeter)
Options for Density Measurement Unit
The transmitter provides a standard set of measurement units for Density Measurement Unit. Different
communications tools may use different labels.

(1) Non-standard calculation. This value represents line density divided by the density of water at 60°F
(15.6°C).
(2) Non standard calculation, unless the API referral application is enabled. Calculated from line density instead
of specific gravity.
