Where:
q: flow (qm, qv) mass flow or volume flow
p: Differential pressure
Characteristic curves
The orifice plate has a square-root relationship between differential
pressure and flow.
A transmitter with square-root characteristic is required for creating a
flow linear output signal (420mA).

Note
When using the
"Flow rate" block,
other square root
extracting
characteristic
curves must be
deactivated. The
"characteristic
curve" parameter
must be "linear",
as the root
extraction is
already
implemented in
"flow rate"
measuring mode.
