Abstract:
In a flow measurement system comprising a primary flow sensor and a secondary electronic conversion apparatus for converting high and low fluid pressure signals from the primary flow sensor to an electronic signal output representative of fluid flow, a process for calibrating the system as an integral unit, comprising the steps of applying a plurality of known reference fluid flow rates to the primary flow sensor over the system's operative range of flow conditions, sensing the electrical output of the secondary electronic conversion apparatus for each of the said plurality of reference fluid flow rates, establishing a correction factor for each of said recorded values of electrical output which will tend to linearize the relationship between fluid flow rate and the electrical output of the measuring system, and storing the correction factors in non-volatile memory in a microprocessor which is part of the secondary electronic conversion apparatus.
