Full Scale Flow Rate gpm (Read Only)
This parameter is a duplicate of the “Full Scale Flow Rate gpm” parameter from
the “Flow Settings” tab. It is meant to show you what is already programmed in
the meter, as a reference, so that you don’t need to return to the “Flow Settings”
tab to remind yourself of the setting.
Scaled Frequency Factor pulses / <units> (Read Only)
This parameter is a calculated value, and it provides the scaling factor for
measuring the volume rate from the turbine meter’s frequency output. The
<units> was selected in the “Flow Settings” tab. If custom units were selected,
the conversion factor was already taken into account when the scale factor was
calculated.
How to calculate ow rate from the frequency output scale factor:
Measured Flow Rate (Volume/Minute) =
Measured Flow Rate (Volume/Second) =
Measured Flow Rate (Volume/Hour) =
Scaled Frequency Factor pulses / gallon (Read Only)
This parameter is a calculated value, and it provides the scaling factor for
measuring the volume rate from the turbine meter’s frequency output. The units
of measurement are pulses per gallon (ppg). If gpm units were selected in the
“Flow Settings” tab, this value will be a duplicate of the previous parameter.
How to calculate ow rate from the frequency output scale factor in ppg:
Measured Flow Rate (Gallon/Minute) =
Measured Flow Rate (Gallon/Second) =
Measured Flow Rate (Gallon/Hour) =
The ppg value is referred to as the “Meter Factor” and is a very important value
when the turbine meter is used along with a System-10 BTU meter, System-20
BTU meter or D-100/D-1200 ow display. When programming one of these
peripherals to be used with an Insertion Turbine Meter, you must be prepared
to enter this value so that the BTU Meter/Display can properly convert frequency
pulses to ow rate and volume.
