Vortex Frequency = 75 Hz
K-factor (compensated) = 10.79 (via Field Communicator or AMS)
= 75.00/(10.79 3 0.0166667)
= 417.1 gpm
Therefore, an input frequency of 75.00 Hz represents a flow rate of
417.1 gpm in this application.
For a given input frequency, you may also determine the current output. Use the above
example with an input frequency of 75.00 Hz:
URV= 500 gpm LRV= 0 gpm F
in
= 75.00 Hz
= 17.35 mA
Therefore, an input frequency of 75.00 Hz represents a current output of 17.35 mA.
Example 2 (English units)
Therefore, an input frequency of 400 Hz represents a flow rate
of 19433.6 lb/hr in this application.
Fluid = Saturated Steam URV = 40000 lb/hr
