Weights & Measures application.
8.1 Weights & Measures application
The Weights & Measures application is used to provide process data that is legal for
custody transfer applications when an approved method is used to read or obtain the
measurement.
Regulatory agencies
When installed, configured, and used as recommended by Micro Motion, the Weights &
Measures application is certified by the following regulatory agencies:
• NTEP (National Type Evaluation Program). NTEP requirements apply in the U.S.A.
and Canada.
• OIML (Organization of Legal Metrology). OIML requirements apply in all other world
areas.
Depending on the regulatory agency that governs your installation, different setup,
configuration, and operation methods are applicable.
Secured vs. unsecured
When the Weights & Measures application is installed, the transmitter is always “secured”
or “unsecured.” The transmitter leaves the factory in unsecured mode, with Status Alarm
A027: Security Breach active. Additionally, flow measurement may be disabled.
Measurement data from an unsecured transmitter cannot be used for custody transfer
applications.
To clear the alarm and enable flow measurement, you must configure the Weights &
Measures application and secure the transmitter. When the transmitter is secured, the
alarm is cleared and flow measurement is enabled automatically.
Security types and requirements
Before using the transmitter for Weights & Measures measurement, both metrological
security and physical security must be implemented.
