Abstract
A meter electronics (20) for selecting a zero-verification criteria for performing 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 a fluid and select, based on the property of the fluid, the zero-verification criteria value for the sensor assembly (10).
Claims12
A meter electronics (20) for selecting a zero-verification criteria for performing 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 a fluid;
- and
- select, based on the property of the fluid, the zero-verification criteria value for the sensor assembly (10) from two or more zero-verification criteria, wherein one of the two or more zero-verification criteria is associated with the fluid being a gas and another of the two or more zero-verification criteria is associated with the fluid being a liquid.
A method of selecting a zero-verification criteria for performing a zero verification of a vibratory meter, the method comprising:
- containing a fluid in a sensor assembly;
- determining a property of a fluid;
- and
- selecting, based on the property of the fluid, a zero-verification criteria value for the sensor assembly from two or more zero-verification criteria, wherein one of the two or more zero-verification criteria is associated with the fluid being a gas and another of the two or more zero-verification criteria is associated with the fluid being a liquid.
A vibratory meter (5) capable of selecting 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 a fluid;
- and
- select, based on the property of the fluid, the zero-verification criteria value for the sensor assembly (10) from two or more zero-verification criteria, wherein one of the two or more zero-verification criteria is associated with the fluid being a gas and another of the two or more zero-verification criteria is associated with the fluid being a liquid.
