C262 – Liquid Flow Rate Conversion
Description
This converts liquid flow rates from mass, observed, standard or normal volume to mass, observed, standard or normal volume.

Options
From
- Mass
- Observed volume
- Standard volume
- Normal volume
This option allows user to select the type of flow rate that will be input for conversion.
Calculate
- Mass
- Observed volume
- Standard volume
- Normal volume
- Energy
This option allows user to select the type of flow rate(s) that will be converted for output.
Line Density
- User entered
- Calculated
This option group allows the user to input both line density or calculated it from standard density.
Standard Density
- User entered
- Calculated
This option group allows the user to input both standard density or calculated it from line density.
Calorific Value
- Volume based
- Mass based
This option is available when energy flow rate is to be calculated. It affords the user the choice of entering the calorific value of the fluid in volume or mass based units.
If only one of these is needed to be output there will be an alternative option asking whether the density (line or standard depending on output) is to be calculated or user entered.
Other option that may appear depending on the selections made can be referred to in C252.
Calculation
Calculation uses C252 as a density referral, if necessary, then uses basic relationships that relate mass to volume via density and uses that to switch between different flow rates.
