Figure 3-1 Mass Flow Example
Example - Mass Flow Compensation
A
gas flow rate of 650 SCFM develops a differential pressure of 90" H O across an orifice plate
at reference conditions of 30 psig and 140 F. Compensate this gas flow for temperature and
pressure variations.

Where:
f = flowing conditions
ref = reference conditions (in absolute units)
Note: If temperature and pressure signals are already ranged in absolute units,
no Bias is required for inputs B and C.

ssign inputs using Engineering units:
Let:
Input A = DP = IN1 (in H O)
Input B = T = IN2 + Bias2 = IN2 F + 460 ( R)
Input C = P = IN3 + Bias3 = IN3psig + 14.7(psia)
T = 140 F + 460 = 600 R
P = 30 psig + 14.7 = 44.7 psia
Calc = 650.0
Calc = 0.0

Note: When IN2 and IN3 are at the reference conditions of 600 R (140 F) and 44.7psia (30
psig) respectively and DP = 90" H O, the equation must calculate 650 SCFM. To accomplish
this, divide the DP value by "90" to normalize the equation.
