Figure 8-2 Effect of flow direction on mA outputs: 4mA value < 0
Example 1
Configuration:
• Flow direction = Forward
• mA output: 4 mA = 0 g/s; 20 mA = 100 g/s
(See the first graph in Figure 8-1.)
As a result:
• Under conditions of reverse flow or zero flow, the mA output level
is 4 mA.
• Under conditions of forward flow, up to a flow rate of 100 g/s, the
mA output level varies between 4 mA and 20 mA in proportion to
(the absolute value of) the flow rate.
• Under conditions of forward flow, if (the absolute value of) the flow
rate equals or exceeds 100 g/s, the mA output will be proportional
to the flow rate up to 20.5 mA, and will be level at 20.5 mA at
higher flow rates.
