Multivariable Transmitter: Models 266CRH/CRT And 266JRH/JRT Datasheet

The flow calculation carried out by these transmitters includes compensation of pressure and / or temperature as well as more complex variables such as discharge coefficient, thermal expansion, Reynolds number, and compressibility factor. The 266CXX pressure transmitters include flow equations for superheated steam, saturated steam, gases, and liquids - so you only need one device for your system. Multivariable transmitters represent a more economical solution than the designs that have been used for this type of measuring point up to now, in which three different transmitters for differential pressure, absolute pressure, and temperature report their values to a DCS, PLC, or flow computer.

The discharge coefficient is defined as the actual flow divided by the theoretical flow. It corrects the theoretical equation for the effect on the velocity profile (Reynolds number), assuming that no energy is lost between between the pressure taps and pressure tap location. It is dependent on the differential flow sensor, the diameter ratio, and the Reynolds number. Compensation for the discharge coefficient ensures a high level of measuring accuracy for flow measurement with primary elements.
