The pressure differential (h) [inches of water column]
developed by a differential pressure flow element is
measured, and the volumetric flow rate (Q) [gpm] can be
calculated using the following generalized formula:

Q = kA(h/D)^0.5

k is the discharge coefficient of the element (which also
reflects the units of measurement), A is the cross-sectional
area of the pipe's opening, and D is the density of the
flowing fluid. The discharge coefficient k is influenced by
the Reynolds number (see Figure 1-5) and by the "beta
ratio," the ratio between the bore diameter of the flow
restriction and the inside diameter of the pipe.

Nothing can be determined from only 2 data, volume in gpm
and DP in inches w.c. There is insufficient data and
probably insufficient attention in the classroom to think
that one converts to the other.
