Documentation
Definition
You can configure the Quantity Conversion Interface (QCI) to operate with external executable programs, such as the API c-codes, the AGA c-codes, customer-specific ABAP function modules, or standard SAP function modules. The Hydrometer indicator is one of the parameters that the system passes to the API c-codes as an input parameter. The indicator is identified in the SAP system with data element OIB_HYDRO. You can select the indicator or leave the indicator unselected during quantity conversion using API c-codes. The values for this parameter within the API c-code source are 0 and 1.
The system performs the following steps, depending on the setting of the Hydrometer indicator:
- If you select the Hydrometer Indicator in a transaction, the system passes a value of 1 to the API c-code.
- If you do NOT select the Hydrometer Indicator in a transaction, the system passes a value of 0 to the API c-code.
As a result of the API c-code logic, a value of 0 includes a hydrometer correction and a value of 1 excludes this correction.
You can also use the parameters of the Hydrometer indicator in other customer-specific external sources or ABAP function modules. However, in such cases the behavior of the Hydrometer function can be different than the description in the text above and must be validated by each customer. Also the QCI default parameter sets must be maintained accordingly.
Engineering background of this parameter within the API c-codes:
If a glass hydrometer is used to measure the test gravity or test density of an oil product, a correction to the oil quantity conversion calculation can be made to account for the expansion or contraction of the glass hydrometer.
This correction is included in the API c-code routines.
The hydrometer correction makes only a very small adjustment to the gravity or density. The values for temperatures, gravity, or density do not change (in most cases), if they are within the middle ranges of the standard API tables.
