2.4.1Rosemount 3051SMV Engineering Assistant 6.3 or later
The Rosemount 3051SMV Engineering Assistant is designed to guide the user through the
setup of the flow configuration of a Rosemount 3051SMV. The flow configuration screens
allow the user to specify the fluid, operating conditions, and information about the
primary element including the inside pipe diameter. This information will be used by the
Rosemount 3051SMV Engineering Assistant to create the flow configuration parameters
that can be sent to the transmitter or saved for future use.
NOTICE
To ensure correct operation, download the most current version of the Engineering
Assistant software at Emerson.com/en-us/catalog/rosemount-engineering-assistant-6.
Figure 2-2 shows the path in which the Rosemount 3051SMV Engineering Assistant will
guide the user through a flow configuration. If a natural gas, custom liquid, or custom gas
option is chosen, an extra screen will be provided to specify the gas composition or fluid
properties.

Online and offline mode
The Engineering Assistant software can be used in two modes: online and offline. In online
mode, the user can receive the configuration from the transmitter, edit the configuration,
send the changed configuration to the transmitter, or save the configuration to a file. In
offline mode, the user may create a new flow configuration and save the configuration to a
file or open and modify an existing file.
The Engineering Assistant software can be navigated in a variety of ways. The numbers
below correspond to the numbers shown in Figure 2-3.
A. The navigation tabs contain the flow configuration information. In offline mode, each
tab will not become active until the required fields on the previous tab are completed. In
online mode, these tabs will be functional unless a change on a preceding tab is made.
B. The Reset button will return each field within all of the flow configuration tabs (Fluid
Selection, Fluid Properties, and Primary Element Selection) to the values initially
displayed at the start of the configuration.
A. If editing a previously saved flow configuration, the values will return to those
that were last saved.
B. If starting a new flow configuration, all entered values will be erased.
C. The Back button is used to step backward through the flow configuration tabs.
D. The Next button is used to step forward through the flow configuration tabs. The Next
button will not become active until all required fields on the current page are completed.
E. The Help button may be selected at any time to get a detailed explanation of the
information required on the current configuration tab.
F. Any configuration information that needs to be entered or reviewed will appear in this
portion of the screen.
G. These menus navigate to the Configure Flow, Basic Setup, Device, Variables, Calibration,

Ideal gas
The ideal gas option should be used when the fluid behavior can be modeled by the ideal
gas law. This option uses a modified version of the ideal gas law with a constant value of
compressibility. The default value for compressibility is 1.00 but it may be edited by the
user. To use an ideal gas enter in the operating pressure and temperature followed by
either the density, specific gravity, or molecular weight.

Procedure
1. Expand the GAS category.
2. Select the Ideal Gas option.
3. Enter the Nominal Operating Pressure and Temperature Ranges. Engineering
Assistant will use these ranges to identify the pressure and temperature values at
which the fluid properties are required.
For the ideal gas being used the nominal density, specific gravity, or molecular
weight must now be entered using the drop-down menu. Once these are entered
the other data entry fields, compressibility and viscosity, are enabled as shown on
Figure 2-14.

4. Adjust the compressibility and viscosity to fit the ideal gas of the process.
5. Select Next to proceed to the Fluid Properties tab.
Note
The Fluid Properties tab is an optional step and is not required to complete a flow
configuration. The Fluid Properties tab for the database gas air is shown in Figure
2-15. The user may view the properties of the chosen fluid. The fluid properties are
initially shown at nominal conditions. To view density, compressibility, and viscosity
of the selected fluid at other pressure and temperature values, enter a Pressure and
Temperature and select Calculate. Changing the pressure and temperature values
on the Fluid Properties tab does not affect the flow configuration.

7. Proceed with the steps in Primary element selection.
Custom gas
About this task
The custom gas option should be used for fluids not in the database such as proprietary
fluids or gas mixtures. To properly calculate the fluid properties, the compressibility factor
or density needs to be entered at specific pressure and temperature values based on the
operating ranges entered by the user. The pressure and temperature values may be edited
as needed. The editable values are shown in fields with white backgrounds. For best
performance, it is recommended that, whenever possible, the compressibility or density
values be entered at the suggested pressure and temperature values.
To ease entering the compressibility/density or viscosity values, data can be copied from a
spreadsheet and pasted into the grid. The recommended process is to copy the pressure
and temperature values from the table on the Engineering Assistant screen to assist in
computing the density or compressibility values. Once the compressibility or density
values are computed, they may then be copied from the spreadsheet and pasted into the
grid on the Custom Gas Fluid Properties tab.
