Example#2(CurrentOutput):intheillustrations below, the 4mAsignalis setat0” (0.0 gallons) andthe20
mAsignalissetto60”(600.0gallons).IntheVerticalCylindricalTank,40”ofliquidwilloutputacurrentsignal
of 14.67mA.However, in the Horizontal Cylindrical Tank with End Caps, 50” of liquid  will output a current


 1” of liquid does not equal 10 gallons.The 10”
at the bottom represents a rise of

where the change between 10” and 20”
representsanincreaseof109.6gallons.
