4.2 Using mass flow meters on different fluids or under different conditions

4.2.1 Stored calibration fluids

LIQUI-FLOW mini instruments with digital pc-boards allow storage of max. 8 calibration curves for various fluids or
process conditions. Fluidsets can digitally be selected when the instrument is hooked-up by RS232 to a computer,
using (Bronkhorst) software tools.

4.2.2 Conversion factor calculation using Fluidat software

Bronkhorst High-Tech B.V. gathered the physical properties of over 600 fluids in a database called FLUIDAT.
Application software, such as FLOW CALCULATIONS, enables the user to calculate accurate conversion factors, not
only at 20°C/1 atm but at any temperature/pressure combination, both for gases and for liquids.
Apply to your distributor for more details of this software.

Check FLUIDAT® on http://www.fluidat.com
FLUIDAT® is a collection of routines to calculate physical properties of gases and liquids. These routines
are made available at the FLUIDAT® on the Net website.
