  • Page 19: Calculation Formulas

    <3. Maintenance> Calculation Formulas (1) Flow rate calculation The flow rate is calculated based on the following formulas, where N is the count number of generated vortices. a) Instantaneous flow rate (actual flow rate unit) (RATE) RATE = N×1 /∆t×ε ×ε ×ε ×1 / KT×U ×U KT = KM×U / {1+Et (T -15)×10 b) Instantaneous flow rate (%) (RATE (%))
  • Page 20 <3. Maintenance> (2) Flow rate unit conversion coefficient (Uk) The flow rate conversion coefficient Uk is calculated according to the measured fluid and the selected flow rate unit, as indicated below. a) Steam For M (mass): = ρ ×U ×U (kg) ρf For Q (flow rate): b) Gas For Q (flow rate):...
  • Page 21 <3. Maintenance> b) Gas In the case of gas, perform temperature/pressure correction based on the measured temperature value, and calculate the volumetric flow rate at normal conditions. For the pressure, use the fixed value input in the parameters or the analog input value from an external pressure gauge.
