A flow transmitter using a magnetic flowmeter has a range of 0-1000 GPM and a 4-20 mA output signal. If the transmitter is currently measuring a flow rate of 950 GPM, what is the output signal in percent (%FS)?
A. 98%
B. 91%
C. 99%
D. 95%
Answer:D
A flow transmitter using a magnetic flowmeter has a range of 0-1000 GPM and a 4-20 mA output signal. If the transmitter is currently measuring a flow rate of 950 GPM, what is the output signal in percent (%FS)?
A. 98% B. 91% C. 99% D. 95%
Explanation: To determine the output signal in mA for a flow transmitter measuring a flow rate of 950 GPM within a range of 0-1000 GPM using a magnetic flowmeter with a 4-20 mA output signal, we can use the following formula:
