Configuring - Density Calculation

Use the Density Calculation to determine the average density for a mixture of known components.

To configure the density calculation with the wizard, select the Component Data Reference (Section Configuring the Components Data Reference), and follow the steps below.

  1. Select the analyzer Element and the density attribute.Figure 462: System Explorer - Density Calculation - Attributes tab

  2. For the attribute’s Data Reference Name, select Density.

  3. The Default UOM value should be either the density or specific density class.

  4. The Value Type should be Double.

  5. Click the Settings button.

    The Components Data Reference window opens.Figure 463: Components Data Reference window - Physical Property Calculations

  6. Under Calculation type, select Physical Property Calculations, then click Next.

    The Physical Property Calculation window opens.Figure 464: Physical Property Calculation window - Density Calculation

  7. Select Density Calculation (this is the only option available since the UOM for the Attribute is in the density class) and click Next.

    The Density Calculation window opens.Figure 465: Density Calculations window

  8. Fill in the Physical Property Calculation window as described in the table below.

    AttributeDescription
    Component Measurement DataThe Attribute where the component analysis data is entered.
    Measurement BasisSelect the type of analysis entered in the component measurement data attribute.

    Note: Configure the component measurement data Attribute before configuring the Density calculation, (see Configuring - Analyzer Configuration).

  9. When done with your configuration settings, click Finish.
