C.2.5 Calculating output variables with known
input frequency
Use the following equations with a known input frequency for verification of a flow rate or 4–20 mA
output within a given calibrated range. Select the proper equation depending on if you are verifying
a flow rate, mass flow rate, 4–20 mA output, or special units. Example calculations starting on
page 125 may clarify how these equations are used.
To verify a flow rate
For a given frequency F (Hz), and K-factor (compensated), find the
flow rate Q:
where C
x
is the unit conversion (Table C-1 on page C-125).
To verify a standard or normal flow rate
To verify a mass flow rate
For a given mass frequency F (Hz), and K-factor (compensated), find the mass flow rate M:
where C is the unit conversion and
is density at operating conditions:
where C
x
is the unit conversion using density () (Table C-1 on page C-125).
