why 4 to 20 ma ,why not 0 to 20 or 3 to 15 or anything
Answer Posted / ibrahim s
4-20mA :-
* Easy to find the open circuit(because this
signal level starts from 4mA, if the circuit in open the
output shows 0mA, so we can find easily the open circuit).
* Easy 0 to 100% segregation
4mA - 0%
8mA - 25% 12mA - 50%
16mA - 75% 20mA - 100%
* All manufacturer following the same standard.
0-20mA :-
* If it starts form 0mA, not able to find open
circuit easily.
3-15mA :-
* Less linearity, because 3mA is 0%, 15mA is 100%
so the deviation b/w 3-15mA is lesser than 4-20mA, So that
it reduces the accuracy of the measurement.
So that 4-20mA is preferred over 0-10v

Calculate the maximum pressure drop that can be allowed to occur across a control valve, so that we can prevent cavitation / flashing from occurring. Use the following formula: Δ P allow = Km (P1 – PvapourA) where, Δ P allow - the maximum allowable differential pressure for sizing purposes, or terminal pressure drop; Km- the valve recovery coefficient from the manufacturer’s catalogue; P1 - absolute inlet fluid pressure; PvapourA - absolute fluid vapour pressure at the inlet temperature; Use Atmospheric pressure = 101.3 kPa, P1 = 1200 kPa(g), PvapourA = 4 kPa, KM = 0.72
