1. A method of converting a directly measured mass flow rate to account for buoyancy, the method comprising:
directly measuring a mass flow rate of a material;
measuring a density of the material; and
using the measured density of the material to convert the directly measured mass flow rate into a mass value including a buoyancy of a fluid.
