If “Oil” is selected as flowing fluid the flow meter is using API 2540 equation for
fluid density calculation. Following parameters related to flowing Oil have to be
entered:
Oil Density @ 60 °F
(kg/m^3)
Constant K0
(no units)
Constant K1
(no units)
See Richard W. Miller,
Flow Measurement Engineering Handbook (Second Edition,
1989), page 2-76 for definition and use of the API 2540 equation.
NOTE: If “Oil” was not selected at factory as your process flowing fluid
the default settings for API 2540 equation are made for Crude oils and
JP4 as following:
Oil Density @ 60 °F
898.0 kg/m^3
Constant K0
341.0957
Constant K1
0.0
