LiquIdent provides an output that identifies the liqui

be associated with an API@ 15.6°C (60°F) as well as Viscosity @ 15.6°C (60°F). This
information can be keyed into a lookup table within the flow meter. This table then serves
as a reference for dynamically inferring the liquid properties as different liquid batches
enter the flow sensor. (The lookup function for this table will also interpolate and
extrapolate for values between and outside the table values.)
Based on FLOW
RAW
and the inferred Viscosity, the current Rey
Reynolds # value is used to correct the raw flow for non-plug flow profile. The
compensated actual flow rate is then computed (FLOW
BULK
).
The volume correction can now be computed using API stand

altered within the flow meter menu.
