Universal Calculation Support

When the primary measuring device (PMD) doesn’t fit one of the standard types, it can be programmed using a universal characterization. When Universal is selected as the PMD type (P600), then both P610 and P611 must be entered to define the flow.

Two curve types are supported:

P600 = 4–linear (piece wise linear)

P600 = 5–curved (cubic spline)

Both are shown in the following chart.

Head (P610)

Characterization is achieved by entering the head (P610) and corresponding flow (P611), either from empirical measurement or from the manufacturer's specification. Increasing the number of defined breakpoints will increase the accuracy of the flow measurement.

Breakpoints should be concentrated in areas exhibiting the higher degrees of non linear flow. A maximum of 32 breakpoints can be defined. The curve’s end point is always specified by the parameters Maximum Head (P603) and Maximum Flow (P604) for a maximum total of 33 breakpoints.

Head Breakpoints

Use as many breakpoints as required by the complexity of your PMD.
