Appendix E
Concentration measurement matrices,
derived variables, and process variables
Topics covered in this appendix:
• Standard matrices for the concentration measurement application
• Concentration measurement matrices available by order
• Derived variables and calculated process variables
E.1 Standard matrices for the concentration
measurement application
The standard concentration matrices available from Micro Motion are applicable for a
variety of process fluids. These matrices are included in the ProLink III installation.
Tip
If the standard matrices are not appropriate for your application, you can build a custom matrix or
purchase a custom matrix from Micro Motion.

Deg Balling Matrix represents percent extract, by
mass, in solution, based on °Balling.
For example, if a wort is 10 °Balling
and the extract in solution is 100% su-
crose, the extract is 10% of the total
mass.

Deg Brix Matrix represents a hydrometer scale
for sucrose solutions that indicates the
percent by mass 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 Matrix represents percent extract, by
mass, 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 mass.
