Description
Example 3: Calculation of Qm
∆p = 50kPa,
Qm(kg/s) = Kfactor × ∆p
= 0.02503 × 50
= 0.1770 (kg/s)
Method 2. Calculating the Kfactor from differential pressure and flow rate in normal condition
(1) The flow rate and the differential pressure are calculated using the unit set to the transmitter.
(2) Calculation of the Kfactor
Calculate the Kfactor by using the flow rate and the differential pressure.
Kfactor can be calculated from equation shown in below.
Kfactor = [Qm / (∆p)] / [(ScaleOut_U − ScaleOut_L) + ScaleOut_L]
(3) Enter kfactor as shown in beginning of this section.
IMPORTANT
If either the setting of flow unit or differential
pressure unit is changed, Kfactor must be
recalculated.
