The test weight is also used to perform a test to verify that the flowmeter sensing head is level. Test Rate (TPH) = Test Weight (grams) 45* grams/ TPH Alternatively, to determine the test weight required for a specific test rate: Test Weight (grams) = 45* grams x Test Rate (in TPH) 1 TPH *Use 60 grams for A-300 flowmeters. = 155 TPH Test Rate = 7000 grams 45 grams/TPH Note: Use metric tons per hour (t/h) or short tons per hour (STPH) as applicable for TPH. LVDT Output Zero Adjustment 1. Connect a voltmeter across the LVDT green and yellow (or yellow and white) wires. With no load applied to the sensing plate, observe 0. 10 V AC on the voltmeter. Note: If the LVDT output is 0. 10 to 0. 05 V AC, skip to span test, otherwise, proceed as follows: a. Loosen the locknut on the LVDT threaded core. b. Turn the core in/out of the LVDT until 0. 10 to 0. 05 V AC is obtained. c. Tighten the locknut, ensuring the measured value is maintained.

The LVDT output should increase steadily until a level of 0. 75 to 1. 0 V AC is achieved. The LVDT output should decrease steadily until zero is reached and then increase to 0. 25 to 0. 50 V AC. Ensure the LVDT output always returns to 0. 10 to 0. 05 V AC, (on the right hand side of zero), when pressure on the moving beam is released. Note: The LVDT core must not contact the inside of the LVDT over the range of core travel. The actual LVDT core travel during this procedure is less than 3 mm (1/8"). 0. 750 to 1. 000 0. 050 to 0. 150 0. 015 to 0. 500 Sensing Head Level Test 1. With the voltmeter still connected to the LVDT output, hang the test weight directly off the sensing plate. Observe the display value does not change by more than 0. 01 V AC. Note: If the change is greater than 0. 01 V AC, adjust the sensing head level until the change with and without the test weight on the sensing plate is less than 0. 01 V AC.

Record the integrator rate display value associated with each test weight applied to the flowmeter. If all the recorded display values are accurate, the flowmeter measurement is linear. [. . . ]
