What is compensated steam flow?

The purpose of steam flow meter with temperature and pressure compensation is for when the volume deviate the actual flow compensation will correct the result well. Steam in gas status, the density varies with the changes of temperature and pressure itself. If don't have the compensation will cause a huge error.

What compensation is required for steam flow measurements?

So Do you need temperature and pressure compensation for Steam Flow Measurement? There are two types of steam, saturated steam and superheated steam. The temperature and pressure compensation is superheated steam. For the real saturated steam, only temperature or pressure compensation is required.

What is flow compensation?

The flow compensation equation requires the determination of the fluid density at actual conditions (a). If the fluid is an ideal gas, then the Ideal Gas Equation can be used to obtain the actual density: P * V = n * R * T (5) where: P = absolute pressure (psia)

How do you calculate temperature compensation?

This temperature compensation is calculated by applying an industry standard 2% to the conductivity value for every degree away from 25°C the temperature reads.
