• The letters A, B, C, or D that are used to terminate table names define the type of liquid that the
table is designed for:
- A tables are used with generalized crude and JP4 applications.
- B tables are used with generalized products.
- C tables are used with liquids with a constant base density or known thermal expansion
coefficient.
- D tables are used with lubricating oils.
• Different tables use different density units:
-Degrees API
- Relative density (SG)
- Base density (kg/m

)
Table 8-3 summarizes these options.
Temperature data
For the temperature value to be used in CTL calculation, you can use the temperature data from the
sensor, or you can poll an external temperature device:
• To use temperature data from the sensor, no action is required.
• To poll an external temperature device, configure polling for temperature as described in
Section 9.4. When polling is enabled, the transmitter will automatically use the external
temperature value for CTL calculation.
