Configuring the Enhanced Density Application continued
If the standard curves are not appropriate for your application, you did not purchase the custom
curves, and you require transmitter output based on enhanced density, you must configure one or
more curves to meet your application requirements.
D.4 About enhanced density
The enhanced density application allows you to select or configure process density curves for
proprietary fluids. These curves represent the change in density that results from changes in process
temperature and process concentration.
D.4.1 The density curve
The density curve can be represented as a surface in three-dimensional space. See Figure D-1.
Up to six curves may be stored in the transmitter; however, only one curve can be enabled (in use) at a
time. When a density curve is enabled, the transmitter uses the selected curve and measured process
temperature and density to calculate the derived variable. The derived variable is used to calculate
several enhanced density process variables, such as ED Density at Ref or ED Concentration. These
process variables can be used in transmitter operation just like any standard process variable such as
mass flow or volume flow; for example, they can be used to define an event.

Name Description
Deg Balling Curve represents percent extract, by weight, in solution, based on °Balling. For example, if a wort is
10 °Balling and the extract in solution is 100% sucrose, the extract is 10% of the total weight.
Deg Brix Curve represents a hydrometer scale for sucrose solutions that indicates the percent by weight of
sucrose in solution at a given temperature. For example, 40 kg of sucrose mixed with 60 kg of water
results in a 40 °Brix solution.
Deg Plato Curve represents percent extract, by weight, in solution, based on °Plato. For example, if a wort is
10 °Plato and the extract in solution is 100% sucrose, the extract is 10% of the total weight.
HFCS 42 Curve represents a hydrometer scale for HFCS 42 (high fructose corn syrup) solutions that indicates
the percent by weight of HFCS in solution.
HFCS 55 Curve represents a hydrometer scale for HFCS 55 (high fructose corn syrup) solutions that indicates
the percent by weight of HFCS in solution.
HFCS 90 Curve represents a hydrometer scale for HFCS 90 (high fructose corn syrup) solutions that indicates
the percent by weight of HFCS in solution.
