Configure energy content measurement using the
Field Communicator
The energy content parameters are used to measure and calculate calorific value, Wobbe
index, and energy flow.
Prerequisites
You must be able to supply gas composition data to the meter, for the following
constituents:
• Carbon monoxide (CO)
• Carbon dioxide (CO2)
• Nitrogen (N2)
• Hydrogen (H2)
Gas composition must be measured in % by volume.
If you plan to measure energy flow, you must be able to supply flow data to the meter. You
have the following options:
• If you are using an external volume flow device, Volume Flow (External) and Mass
Flow (Calculated) are available.
• If you are using an external mass flow device, Mass Flow (External) and Volume Flow
(Calculated) are available.
