Measuring Volume
The Analyzer integrates (sums) the high- or low-flow signal over a period of time to
obtain volume. The Analyzer measures volume in units of Liters, CF (cubic feet), or mL
(milliliters). Maximum low-flow volume is ± 60 l, and maximum high-flow volume is >
± 60 l. All correction modes and other measurement accuracy considerations applicable
to flow measurement apply for volume measurements. To make a volume measurement,
follow these steps:
1. Connect the Analyzer for low-flow or high-flow measurement as shown in Figure 6-1
or 6-3, respectively.
