System and Method for Calibration of a Flow Device

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention provide a system and method for rapid calibration of a flow device. A flow device can be provided with a calibration flow curve (e.g., represented by an n^th degree polynomial) by the manufacturer or a third party. The calibration curve can be adjusted for a process fluid and the system for which the flow device is actually installed using one or more correction factors. The correction factors can be determined for the flow curve based on a simple empirical test or fluid properties of the process fluid. The corrected flow curve is then saved at the flow device so that it can be used for future flow control.
