b) Gas
In the case of gas, perform temperature/pressure correction based on the measured
temperature value, and calculate the volumetric ow rate at normal conditions. For the
pressure, use the xed value input in the parameters or the analog input value from an
external pressure gauge.

c) Liquid
In the case of liquid, perform a secondary correction for the change in density based on the
temperature.
For the calculation, use the measured temperature value to determine the change in
density.
