Vane Correction System

Vane gauge reading can be corrected automatically to actual strength (kPa) values using the Vane Correction System.

hmtoggle_arrow1How To: Setup vanes and calibration data

img_1 Navigate to the Vanes table, then find the Vane ID column and click the Button_Plus button on the lookup:

Data_Tools_VaneCalibration_Lookup

img_2 On the lookup table (i.e. LUT-Vanes), create new vanes by clicking the New button, entering a unique vane identifier, then clicking OK:

Data_Tools_VaneCalibration_Lookup_Add

img_3 Go to the calibrations table (i.e. Vanes - Calibrations) and enter a record for each vane calibration:

Data_Tools_VaneCalibration_Lookup_Data

•Start Date - the date the calibration was completed.

•End Date - arbitrarily a date 12 months after the Start Date.  

•Vane Size - the common name of the vane size (i.e. 19 or 33 mm), not the exact size.

•m - the slope of the correction line

•b - the y-intercept of the correction line (typically assumed to be 0)

img_1 Set the vane identifier, vane size and test date (all three values are used to search for valid calibration data), then enter the uncorrected (gauge) readings and save. If valid calibration data exists the corrected values will appear in the Peak and Residual columns:
