Note
When configuring Standard or Normal Flow units to the volumetric flow, a density ratio
must be provided. See the Density/Density Ratio on page 13.
Special units
Special Units allows you to create flow rate units that are not among the standard options.
They can be volumetric only. Configuration of a special unit involves entry of these values:
base volume unit, base time unit, user defined unit and conversion number. Suppose you
want the Rosemount 8600D to display flow in barrels per minute instead of gallons per
minute, and one barrel is equal to 31.0 gallons.
 Base volume unit: gal
 Base time unit: min
 User defined unit: br
 Conversion number:
1
/31.0
See the specific variables listed below for more information on setting special units.
Base volume unit
Base Volume Unit is the unit from which the conversion is made. You must select one of the
Field Communicator defined unit options:
 Gallons (gal)
 Liters (L)
 Imperial gallons (Impgal)
 Cubic meters (Cum)
 Barrels (bbl) where 1 bbl=42 gal
 Cubic Feet (Cuft)
