C.3 Examples
The following examples illustrate the calculations that may be necessary for your
application. The first set of two examples is in English units. The second set of two examples
is in SI units.
C.3.1 English units
Example 1
In this application, an input frequency of 75 Hz represents a flow rate of 417.1 gpm:
Given
Q = flow rate
F = frequency: 75 Hz
K = K-factor (compensated): 10.79 (via fieldbus configuration tool)
