Conversions and Formulas


E = Voltage / I = Amps / W = Watts / PF = Power Factor / Eff = Efficiency / HP = Horsepower

To find mA for a given pressure in a 4-20 Loop:

ex. 0 - 500 PSI = 4 - 20 mA
Span of mA
Range of Pressure
ie:
16 mA
500 PSI
= .032 mA per PSI
.032 mA X 250 PSI = 8 mA + 4 mA (offset from 0) = 12 mA
or
250 PSI = 12 mA
