2.6.2 Archives
The integrated data registration stores totalizer levels, maximums and other data in the
following archives:
● Measuring period archive
Totalizers and data saved after the measuring period elapses (standard = 60 min). The
measuring period can be adjusted → p. 93, §5.2.6.9.
● Daily archive
Totalizers and data saved at the defined gas hour time (standard = 06:00)
● Monthly archive
Totalizers and data saved at the defined gas day time (standard = 1st day of month)
2.7 Device option
2.7.1 Volume conversion
The FLOWSIC500 gas flow meter with volume conversion captures the gas volume under
measurement conditions and converts it to a volume under base conditions.
Gas volume conversion can run selectively (set at the factory) as PTZ or TZ volume
conversion. The configuration as temperature volume conversion uses the default value for
measurement pressure for calculations.
Measurement conditions are recorded with the pressure and temperature sensors or
entered as fixed values.
By default, measured values recording and subsequent calculation of the conversion factor
are performed every 30 seconds. The update interval can be adjusted → p. 91, §5.2.6.5,
“Calculation”.
Depending on the configuration, the compressibility factor (K-factor) is determined with
one of the following calculation methods or can be entered as a fixed value.
● Fixed value
● SGERG88
● AGA 8 Gross method 1
● AGA 8 Gross method 2
● AGA NX-19
● AGA NX-19 mod.
● AGA NX-19 mod. GOST
● GERG91 mod.
● AGA8-92DC (AGA-8 Detail)
The FLOWSIC500 checks the permissible entry limits of the parameters for the selected
calculation method. If one of the entry values is outside the limit values, the FLOWSIC500
switches to malfunction state and uses the fixed value of the compressibility factor for
calculation of the basis volume.
An absolute pressure sensor (optional: relative pressure sensor) EDT23 or the functionally
compatible successor model EDT96 and a temperature sensor EDT34 or the functionally
compatible successor model EDT87 measure current measurement conditions and trans-
fer the sensor type, measured value as well as the sensor status via a digital interface.
The FLOWSIC500 reads the valid measuring range automatically and, periodically, the
current status and measured value.
Explanations on data structure and storage depth are available in Technical
Bulletin “Data Registration”).
