w To choose a new unit of measure for flow rate:
1. From the Main menu press 3. The 3.0 DISPLAY SETUP menu title will appear.
2. Press 1, the Flow Setup option.
3. At this point there are three choices, Mass, Std Volume and Std Velocity. Table 6
summarizes the choices contained in Mass, Std Volume and Std Velocity.
4. By pressing 1, 2, or 3, the display will prompt the user to enter the user password (if it is
enabled) and then the respective mass, volume or length units from Table 6. Enter the
desired measurement type. For example, pressing 1 will show the following display:
1=LB, 2=KG or 3=TNS.
5. Enter the desired time units, seconds, minutes, hours or days.
6. If Mass or Std Volumetric units have been selected, enter the pipe cross-sectional area.
There is the option of entering the area directly or, for circular pipes, entering the inside
diameter.
7. Enter the desired area units.
8. Enter the pipe area or the pipe inside diameter. Press any key twice.
9. When prompted to Save permanently enter Y for yes.
NOTE: The term Std refers to standard or standard conditions. Standard volume refers to
the space a gas occupies at a defined pressure and temperature. The factory uses
14.7 psia and 70°F as its standard conditions. Std Velocity is defined as the
standard volumetric flow rate divided by the pipe cross-sectional area.
w To choose a new unit of measure for temperature:
1. From the Main menu press 3. The 3.0 DISPLAY SETUP menu title will appear.
2. Press 2, the Temperature Setup option.
3. Press 1 to change the units for temperature.
4. After entering the user password (if it is enabled) there will be 4 choices: (°F) degrees
Fahrenheit, (°C) degrees Celsius, (K) Kelvin and (R) Rankine. Press the appropriate
number corresponding to the desired temperature units.
5. When prompted to Save permanently enter Y for yes.
