10.4 Performing meter validation
To perform meter validation, measure a sample of the process fluid and compare the measurement
with the flowmeter’s reported value.
Use the following formula to calculate a meter factor:
Valid values for meter factors range from
0.8 to 1.2. If the calculated meter factor exceeds these
limits, contact Micro Motion customer service.
Example
The flowmeter is installed and proved for the first time. The flowmeter
mass measurement is 250.27 lb; the reference device measurement is
250 lb. A mass flow meter factor is determined as follows:
The first mass flow meter factor is 0.9989.
One year later, the flowmeter is proved again. The flowmeter mass
measurement is 250.07 lb; the reference device measurement is
250.25 lb. A new mass flow meter factor is determined as follows:
The new mass flow meter factor is 0.9996.
