Abstract
A meter electronics (20) for determining a zero-verification criteria for a zero-verification of a vibratory meter (5) is provided. The meter electronics (20) comprises an interface (401) communicatively coupled to a sensor assembly (10) containing a fluid and a processing system (402) communicatively coupled to the interface (401). The processing system (402) is configured to determine a property of the fluid and determine, based on the property of the fluid, a zero-verification criteria value for the sensor assembly (10).
Claims18
A meter electronics (20) for determining a zero-verification criteria for a zero-verification of a vibratory meter (5), the meter electronics (20) comprising:
- an interface (401) communicatively coupled to a sensor assembly (10) containing a fluid;
- and
- a processing system (402) communicatively coupled to the interface (401), the processing system (402) being configured to determine a property of the fluid and determine, based on the property of the fluid and a selected zero-verification criteria, a zero-verification criteria value for the sensor assembly (10).
A method of determining a zero-verification criteria for a zero verification of a vibratory meter, the method comprising:
- containing a fluid in a sensor assembly;
- determining a property of the fluid;
- and
- determining, based on the property of the fluid and a selected zero-verification criteria, a zero-verification criteria value for the sensor assembly.
A vibratory meter (5) capable of determining a zero-verification criteria for performing a zero verification, the vibratory meter (5) comprising:
- a sensor assembly (10) containing a fluid;
- and
- a meter electronics (20) communicatively coupled to the sensor assembly (10), the meter electronics (20) being configured to determine a property of the fluid and determine, based on the property of the fluid and a selected zero-verification criteria, a zero-verification criteria value for the sensor assembly (10).
