Gas measurement
Promass 83 is not only suitable for measuring fluid flow. Direct mass measurement based on the
Coriolis principle is also possible for measuring the flow rate of gases.
!
Note!
• Only mass and corrected volume flow can be measured and output with the gas-measurement
mode. Note that direct density and/or volume measurement is not possible.
• The flow ranges and measuring accuracy that apply to gas measurement are not the same as those
for liquids.
Function setting for gas measurement (using a FF configuration program
)
1.
Open the configuration program and then the Resource Block.
2.
Use the WRITE_LOCK parameter to check whether hardware write protection is deactivated:
– Write protection activated = LOCKED
– Write protection deactivated = NOT LOCKED
Deactivate the write protection if necessary
→
3.
Open the Transducer Block.
4.
Enable the programming mode:
– Enter the enable code in the “Un-/Locking - Access Code” parameter
(default = 83).
– The “Un/Locking - Access Status” parameter should now display “Unlocked Customer”.
5.
Empty pipe detection has to be disabled so that measurement can be performed even at low
gas pressures. Set the “EPD - Empty Pipe Detection” parameter to OFF.
6.
On account of the low mass flow involved when gas flows are measured, it is advisable not to
use a low flow cutoff. Set the “Low Flow Cutoff - Assign” parameter to OFF.
7.
If the “Low Flow Cutoff - Assign” parameter was not set to “OFF”, configure the following
parameters:
“Low Flow Cutoff - On-Value”:
Flow rates for gas measurements are low, so the value for the switch-on point (= low flow cut-
off) must be correspondingly low.
Recommended setting: 0.0000 [unit]
“Low Flow Cutoff - Off-Value”:
Enter the switch-off point as a positive hysteresis in %, referenced to the switch-on point.
Recommended setting: 50%
Corrected volume measurement with gas:
Certain other parameters have to be configured if corrected volume flow (e.g. in Nm
3
/h) is to be
measured and output instead of mass flow (e.g. in kg/h). The procedure is as follows:
8.
In the “System Unit - Cor. Volume Flow” parameter, select the engineering unit for the cor-
rected volume flow.
9.
In the “System Unit Reference Density” parameter, select the engineering unit for reference
density.
10. Set the “Reference Param. - Cor. Volume Calc.” parameter to “Fix. Ref. Density”.
