Calculating Output
Variables with Known
Input Frequency
Use the following equations with a known input frequency for
verification of a flow rate or 4–20 mA output within a given
calibrated range. Select the proper equation depending on if
you are verifying a flow rate, mass flow rate, 4–20 mA output, or
special units. Example calculations starting on page E-6 may
clarify how these equations are used.
To Verify a Flow Rate
For a given frequency F (Hz), and K-factor (compensated), find the
flow rate Q:
where C
x
is the unit conversion (Table E-1).
To Verify a Standard or Normal Flow Rate
To Verify a Mass Flow Rate
For a given mass frequency F (Hz), and K-factor (compensated), find
the mass flow rate M:
where C is the unit conversion and
r is density at operating conditions:
where C
x
is the unit conversion using density ( r ) (Table E-1).
To Verify a 4–20 mA Output
For a given input frequency F (Hz), and K-factor (compensated), find
output current I:
where C
x
is the unit conversion (Table E-1), URV is the upper range
value (user units), and LRV is the lower range value (user units).
To Verify a Special Units Output
For special units, first divide the special unit-conversion factor into the
base unit factor C
x
.
