if a dp transmitter has range 100 in H2O and flow is 20mmcf
and if the flow is changed to 25 mmcf then what is the
formula to determine new range of transmitter



if a dp transmitter has range 100 in H2O and flow is 20mmcf and if the flow is changed to 25 mmcf t..

Answer / carl_ellis

design max flow rate = 20 mmcf
design max DP = 100 in H2O

new max flow rate = 25 mmcf
new max flow rate = ?

The max flow rate increases by 125% over the design max flow
rate:

25/20 = 125% increase

DP calculations are done in normalized percentages. 125% = 1.25

To calculate the corresponding DP at a max flow rate 125%
higher than the original, where X = DP

sq rt of X = 1.25 (square root of normalized percentage
of DP)

X = 1.25^2 = 1.562

1.562 = 156.2% (work in normalized percentage)

156.2% of 100 inH2O = 156.2 in H2O at a max flow rate of 25 mmcf

I want to use 1/2 inch SS316 tube in my high pressure & temperature (64 kg/cm2 & 500 deg C)after condensate pot in pressure tranmistter. 1) Is it possible to use 1/2" ss316 tube in high pressure and temperature line. Tube manufacturer is local vendor. 2)On sarting the plant, We need to do system fluse that time condesate is not in the condesate pot so steam is directly contact with the tube. We have no exact calculation to know our tube is ok or nor at this time. pleae,reply.
