Shows name and number of fluid selected.
Enter the desired name using the up/down
arrow keys.
Enter the Reference Density. This is used in
the calculation of density when you have a
temp transmitter and used for corrected flow
calculation if you have a density transmitter.
Enter the Reference Temperature.
Enter the proper Fluid Expansion Factor.
(If Temp Compensated for Mass or Corrected
Volume) See Section 7.3, Calculating the Fluid
Expansion Factor.
Enter the Viscosity A Coefficient. See section
7.4, Computation of Viscosity Coef. A and B.
Enter the Viscosity B Coefficient. See section
7.4, Computation of Viscosity Coef. A and B.
Enter the Pressure of the fluid at reference
conditions.
Enter the Z-Factor for a gas at reference
conditions.
Enter the Z-Factor for a gas at flowing
conditions (typically 1.0). For liquids, enter the
liquid compressibility (typically 0)
