1 Description of the automatic unit conversion

The automatic unit conversion is a feature that helps you to avoid the different K-Factor

calculations for the (accumulated) total and the flowrate. With the automatic unit conversion,

you only need the test/calibration certificate that came with your flowmeter. On this

certificate you will find the (average) K-Factor and the related measurement unit. To use the

automatic unit conversion, you only need to enter the (average) K-Factor and the related

measurement unit from the flowmeter certificate.

You need to preset the type of measurement unit: volume, mass or hand. Hand is selected

for measurement units which are not supported by the automatic unit conversion.

1.1 The relation between the K-Factor and the automatic unit conversion

The K-Factor is a figure that represents the amount of pulses which relates to the quantity

of a material that passes the flowmeter.

There are three different K-Factors:

•one for the flowmeter (as given on the certificate);

•one for reading of the (accumulated) total:

•one for the reading of the flowrate.

When another measurement unit is selected for the (accumulated) total or the flowrate, the

automatic unit conversion uses the K-Factor of the flowmeter to, calculate the correct

reading for the (accumulated) total and the flowrate separately.

NOTICE When the B3100 already shows a (accumulated) total and the measurement unit

is changed, the present total is not recalculated into the new measurement unit.

Therefore the total needs to be cleared before you enter a new measurement unit.

1.2 The relation between the K-Factor and the measurement unit set by hand

The K-Factor is a figure that represents the amount of pulses which relates to the quantity

of a material that passes the flowmeter.

There are three different K-Factors:

•one for the flowmeter (as given on the certificate);

•one for reading of the (accumulated) total:

•one for the reading of the flowrate.

For the correct reading, you need to know the K-Factor of the flowmeter and the

measurement unit for which the flowmeter is calibrated.

Example

For this example:

•the flowmeter has a K-Factor: 6624.605 and a measurement unit: m3.

•the measurement unit for (accumulated) total is required per US GAL.

•the unit conversion: 1 m3equals 264.17 US GAL (1 US GAL equals 0.00378 m3).

The flowmeter generates 6624.605 pulses per m3. The selected unit for (accumulated) total

is US GAL. For the calculation of the K-Factor for the (accumulated) total: the K-Factor

6624.605 with an unit m3converted into US GAL gives 6624.605 : 264.17 = 25.077.

2 How to setup the automatic unit conversion

This chapter explains the procedure how to setup the automatic unit conversion.

2.1 How to set the K-Factor (units) for the flowmeter

For easy access the procedure gives the action (what to do), the result (how the B3100 will

respond) and a notice to give additional information to make the procedure more easy to do.

For future reference, make a note of the settings.

2.1.1 The automatic unit conversion - AUTO-VOL and AUTO MAS mode

This procedure gives the information how to setup the AUTO-VOL or the AUTO-MAS mode.

For volumetric units, use the AUTO-VOL mode. For mass units use, use the AUTO-MAS

mode.

NOTICE This procedure assumes that the B3100 is not installed in the field.

This procedure uses the factory default settings for the explanation. (AUTO-VOL

[automatic unit conversion], L/min [flow rate] and m3[Total, accumulated total]).

This procedure assumes, as read from the flowmeter certificate, the flowmeter is

calibrated for: 6624.605 [average K-factor], m3/hr [flow rate].
