Rate Units
Special Units
The Rosemount 8712 provides a selection of standard unit configurations that
meet the needs of most applications (see “Flow Units” on page 3-8). If your
application has special needs and the standard configurations do not apply,
the Rosemount 8712 provides the flexibility to configure the transmitter in a
custom-designed units format using the special units variable.
Special Volume Unit
Special volume unit enables you to display the volume unit format to which
you have converted the base volume units. For example, if the desired special
units are cubic cm/min, the special volume variable can be represented as cc
or cm3. The volume units variable is also used in totalizing the special units
flow.
