Milltronics COMPU-M User Manual

Example :
A non-linearity with respect to the ideal response exists in a flowmeter application with design rate of 50 t/h.
It is decided to do material tests at 25, 50 and 75% of the design rate. After performing a zero and a span
calibration at 100% of the design rate, followed by material tests and manual span adjust, three material tests
were performed at 12.5, 25 and 37.5 t/h, as indicated by the Compu-M. The following data was tabulated.
