Level Transmitter Calculations

Level Transmitter Calculations

Level Transmitter Calculations

(OP)
I need to verify a level transmitter calibration.  In order to do so I want to use the proper formula for determining the correct inwc.  Assuming water what would be the correct equation to use?

RE: Level Transmitter Calculations

What are the output units for the level transmitter?  2.31 feet of water column is equal to 1 psig.

RE: Level Transmitter Calculations

(OP)
the output units are inches of water column - inwc.  Say I have to calibrate levels of liquid other then water.  Would you be able to sugges a good equation to refer to?

RE: Level Transmitter Calculations

actual level in inches = measured level in units of "inches of water" or "water column" [w.c.] divided by the specific gravity of the medium

example: measurment is 55.3" (w.c.) of something lighter than water at 0.91 S.G.

55.3/0.91 =  60.8" physical level
