Totalize a batch from a flow-integrator curve
Practice the sequence you already learned for “Totalize a batch from a flow-integrator curve” until the order feels automatic. Drill the process-calculus order from instrument-tech training. The batch ticket is not signed until the integrator is zeroed, the curve is integrated over the window, and the lab check agrees.
- Zero or note the integrator at batch start.
- Record the flow signal over the batch window.
- Integrate flow with respect to time for the total mass or volume.
- Compare the total to the tank gauge or lab weight.
- Investigate if the difference exceeds the tolerance.
- Sign the batch only after the totals agree.
- Do not use an instantaneous rate as the total.
