Consensus is defin
4、edby the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), of which ASHRAE is a member and which has approved this Standard as an ANS, as“substantial agreement reached by directly and materially affected interest categories. This signifies the concurrence of more than a simple majority,but not necessari

Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that an effort be made toward their resolution.”Compliance with this Standard is voluntary until and unless a legal jurisdiction makes compliance mandatory through legislation. ASHRAE obtains consensus through particip

45、er manufacturers instructions. The output electronics areconnected to a frequency meter that is read automatically by acomputer-based data acquisition system. This setup will beused to measure various water flow mass flow rates from 5%to 100% of the full-scale output. Determine the expectedmeasureme
46、nt uncertainty at 100% of the full-scale reading,and determine the worst-case uncertainty over the expectedoperating range. According to the step-by-step procedure outlined inASME PTC 19.16, Section 4.2, do the following.B1. DEFINE THE MEASUREMENT PROCESSB1.1 Review the Test Objectives and Duration.
47、 The testobjectives are clearly stated in the description above. B1.2 List All Independent Measurement Parameters andTheir Nominal Levels. The only independent measurementis the frequency output from the Coriolis flowmeter. The full-scale output of the flowmeter was set by the manufacturer to4.0 kg/
48、s (8.82 lbm/s), so the nominal flow at 5% of the rangeis 0.2 kg/s (0.44 lbm/s).B1.3 List All Calibrations and Instrumentation Setupsthat Will Effect Each Parameter. The manufacturer verifiedbasic flowmeter operation on its test facility that has a stateduncertainty (URSS) of 0.05% per ISO 5168A11. T
49、he calibra-tion data provided when the meter was initially delivered isshown in Table B-1. The calibration was a water calibrationthat uses the total weight collected at a given time period todetermine a total flow rate.Items to note from Table B-1:a. The calibration data are in terms of mass only, not massper unit time. The manufacturer states that the uncertaintyrelated to determining time in the calibration is insignifi-cant.b. Frequency output data from the meters electronics werenot provided; the manufacturer stated t
