5.3.4 Calculate Coefcient (For ow rate
calculation)
Calculate Coefcient is constant mainly for
calculation of ow rate output signal. Follow
below procedure to set the Calculate Coefcient.
Sensor Transducer Block Target Mode needs to
be changed to Out of Service (O/S) before enters
Calculate Coefcient.

There are two methods for the calculation of the
Calculate Coefcient (below Kfactor).
Method 1: Calculating the Kfactor by ow
parameters
Method 2: Calculating the Kfactor by means of the
ow condition
Method 1. Calculating the Kfactor by ow
parameters.
<1> Selection of the ow equation
Select the desired operational expression
according to the uid type and the ow unit
category shown in Table 5.2.
<2> Conrming the unit
The unit to be used in this calculation is as
follows:
Differential pressure: Pa
Static Pressure: kPa abs
Temperature: K
The dimension of the pressure unit Pa are
M•L
-1
•S
-2
Where M: mass (Kg)
L: Length (m)
S: Time (second)
<3> Preparation of ow parameters for Kfactor
calculation
Each parameter must be expressed in the
following units.
d: m,
ρb and ρnorm: Kg/m
3
C, β, ε and K has no dimensions
<4> Calculation of the unit conversion coefcient Nc
The ow rate value does not change
automatically when a ow unit parameter is set
for the transmitter, and is always output as Kg/s
(mass ow). M
3
/s (volume ow), Nm
3
/s (Normal
volume ow.)
In order to obtain a value in your designated
unit, it is necessary to set Nc.
Nc is a conversion coefcient for the ow and
DP unit that is designated to be used.
<5> Selection of the Kfactor equation and
calculation Select the Kfactor expression
according to the unit category shown in Table
5.2.
Calculate the Kfactor using the parameters and
the expression.
<6> Enter Kfactor as shown in beginning of this
section.
IMPORTANT
If either the setting of ow unit or differential
pressure unit is changed, Kfactor and Nc must
be recalculated.
