b. Kinematic Viscosity Special Unit Conversion Factor = x ÷ y
2. Enter Kinematic Viscosity Special Unit Conversion Factor.
3. Set User-Defined Label to the name you want to use for the kinematic viscosity
unit.
The special measurement unit is stored in the transmitter. You can configure the
transmitter to use the special measurement unit at any time.
Example: Defining a special measurement unit for kinematic viscosity
You want to measure kinematic viscosity in Stokes rather than centiStokes.
1. Calculate Kinematic Viscosity Special Unit Conversion Factor: 1 ÷ 100
2. Set Kinematic Viscosity Special Unit Conversion Factor to .001.
3. Set User-Defined Label to Stokes.

Overview
Viscosity Damping controls the amount of damping that will be applied to the line viscosity
value. It affects both dynamic viscosity and kinematic viscosity measurement.
Damping is used to smooth out small, rapid fluctuations in process measurement. Damping
Value specifies the time period (in seconds) over which the transmitter will spread changes
in the process variable. At the end of the interval, the internal value will reflect 63% of the
change in the actual measured value.
Tip
Viscosity damping affects all process variables that are calculated from line viscosity.
Procedure
Set Viscosity Damping to the value you want to use.
The default value is 0 seconds. The range is 0 to 440 seconds.
Interaction between Viscosity Damping and Added Damping
When the mA output is configured to report either dynamic viscosity or kinematic
viscosity, both Viscosity Damping and Added Damping are applied to the reported viscosity
value.
