		C.1	Overview	175
		C.2	Standard Flow Equation	176
		C.3	Dynamic Compensation Flow Equation	181

Purpose of this appendix

This appendix gives a brief description on the use of the available flow equations for calculating the SMV 3000’s PV4 flow variable. Configuration examples for a number of flow applications are provided to show how to configure SMV PV4 flow variable using the SCT 3000 flow compensation wizard.

Reader Assumptions It is assumed that you are familiar with the flow application in which the SMV 3000 multivariable transmitter is to be used and that you are familiar with using the SCT 3000 Smartline configuration Toolkit.

Reference Data Sources
