5.4 Zero Adjustment
Alter the meter installation is complete, a zero adjustment might be needed to overcome the effects described in para. 53. It is recommended that zero be checked and adjusted if the offset is unacceptable. Zero adjustments should bc made according to the manufacturer’s inslruhon. hi general, to check or adjust the zero flow, the meter should be foil and all flow stopped. Zero adjustment should he made under process condilion.s of temperature. pressure, and density. It is essential that the fluid remain stable and that there are no bubbles or heavy sediment and no fluid movement.
5.5 Calibration of Mass Flow
Most Coriolis meters are calibrated against a traceable standard by the manufacturer, and calibration certificates for the meter might be provided. The calibration factors determined by this procedure should be noted on the sensor data plate.
The calibration is the process of companng the mdicat d how to a traceable standard. The uncertainty of the calibration can be no less than the uncertainty of the reference standard and any errors that are introduced during the calibration.
As the Conchs meter is a mass flow device, it is preferable to perform the calibration against a mass or gravimetric reference. Calibration against a volume standard combined with density determination can be used in situations where mass or gravlmetric methods are not available.
A Conolis master meter can be used to calibrate other Coriolis meters, The calibration of the Coriolis master meter must also be traceable to recognized standards. The same uncertainty ratios are needed for a master meter calibration as for a gravimetric calibration. Care must be taken so that cross-talk does not affect the calibration. (See p.ira. A2.4 in Appendis A for additional information.)
Detailed calibration advice, calibration intervals, suggested procedures, calibration levels, and an esample of a calibration curve are given in Appendix A.
