Variable Description
Table type Specifies the table that will be used for reference temperature and reference density unit. Select
the table that matches your requirements. See Petroleum measurement reference tables.
User defined TEC
(1)
(1) Configurable if Table Type is set to 6C, 24C, or 54C.
Thermal expansion coefficient. Enter the value to be used in CTL calculation.
Temperature units
(2)
(2) In most cases, the temperature unit used by the petroleum measurement reference table should also be the temperature unit configured
for the transmitter to use in general processing. To configure the temperature unit, see Section 4.5.
Read-only. Displays the unit used for reference temperature in the reference table.
Density units Read-only. Displays the unit used for reference density in the reference table.
Reference
temperature
Read-only unless Table Type is set to 53x or 54x. If configurable:
• Specify the reference temperature to be used in CTL calculation.
• Enter reference temperature in °C.
