Filling In the Mass Balance Output Tab

The Output tab contains the selection of output Attributes for the elements in the model. These Attributes hold the values for the reconciled measurement and tolerance, as well as statistical results, such as Solvability and Imbalance. The selected values and tolerances are the outputs from the Sigmafine Reconciliation engine.Figure 258: Mass Balance Configuration - Output tab

Note: The input values you use for the parameters listed in the following table must be valid ones specified in the Element templates.

Nodes Inventories ProcessesInitial ImbalanceReconciledMassImbalanceQuantity difference between the sum of measured flows into a balance Element and the sum of measured flows out.
Nodes Inventories ProcessesVarianceReconciledMassVarianceVariance calculated from the uncertainties of input and output flows of the balance point.
Nodes Inventories ProcessesTest 3ReconciledMassTest3Imbalance Ratio. Division of balance error by the balance variance and is a measure of the magnitude of the imbalance.
Nodes Inventories ProcessesTest 4ReconciledMassTest4Test 4, based on Test3, except normalized by the Balance Test Critical Value.
Nodes Inventories ProcessesReconciled ResidualReconciledResidualThe Reconciled Residual is the difference between the sum of the reconciled of all inputs and the sum of the reconciled of all outputs for balance elements.
